My age came home to me when I realised I was too old to write off anymore to the Forces lads wanting penfriends.... Shame!

Barbara - lmho - the day that started happening to me I was devastated. Every time a handsome young man smiles at me I think he fancies me but he just wants someone to tell his troubles to!! I still feel about 17 inside!!

Aww! Len! I know what you meant though - I'm a touch under 5' tall and female and people literally collide with me in the street because they don't see me or think they can walk through me! I thought I was just being careless myself until my husband commented on it happening.
