My local pub gives a discount on lunch for "seniors". One of these days they will ask for ID and it will so be all over my Facebook page that I was "carded" in a pub!

I love this thread. Well I got half fare on the buses till I was 21! Things went down rapidly from then on but this year I was knocked down by a car which was painful and traumatic but the local news report said I was 'a woman in her fifties'. I am 67. Every cloud......

Well I use a Clarins face cream but I think it's more down to some faceless Facebooker than anything ;-)

What is this miracle cream? I qualified for my bus pass today so I could do with some help.

Ooooh going anywhere nice lizzypopbottle?

I do like a good mooch round duty free!

lizzypopbottle Wed 06-Jan-16 14:59:30

Damn that auto correct! Clarins!

lizzypopbottle Wed 06-Jan-16 14:57:56

Ah! Clearing. I'm flying at the end of the month so will check out the duty free shop smile

lizzypopbottle Wed 06-Jan-16 14:55:38

Kind friends pointed I had no age restricted items in my basket. Where would we be without our mates? smile

I was behind a woman in the checkout queue in my local Morrison's recently. She was buying alcohol and was politely asked if she had any ID. She was rather thrown by this request and had to admit she had no ID but was 37 years old! I was fully expecting (or more likely hoping) to be asked for ID in my turn but no such luck. False optimism at 63, I guess smile Clinique, did you say?

JackyB :-) that was probably it !!

Well, I have aged speedily too, I now have my account back but I cant be called Nana anything according to the powers that be ! Obviously too confusing for a 59 year old woman to be called Nana !!

I do love technology except when its an Ass !!

Hehe.

Last week I went from young, (chemist asked me to pay for my prescription ) to old (young girl offered me her seat on the train ). All in the space of a few hours.

You probably googled for toys and kids' books and games at Christmas - they thought you were writing your letter to Santa instead of trying to fulfil it!

Marmight Wed 06-Jan-16 11:28:32

Oh dear, no more going into pubs or X-rated movies - and you'll have to give up your seat on the bus for an old'un wink

NanaandGrampy Wed 06-Jan-16 11:27:29

Apparently a name that included Nana and an account stuffed with pictures of my grandchildren and myself was not a big enough clue :-)

Hopefully not too many spelling mistakes Jingl ! I refuse to use 'text talk' and I even generally use full sentences :-)

AND not one topless, tipsy photo of me in Ibiza :-)

Annsixty that made me chuckle. In case it is my face cream it's a Clarins one :-)

annsixty Wed 06-Jan-16 10:55:33

Can we all know what it is please? This is the other side of the coin to when you are asked in shops and public transport if you qualify for a discount or have a travel pass when in your 50's.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 06-Jan-16 10:53:12

I'd be worried. Have you been making a lot of spelling mistakes? Odd grammar?

Jane10 Wed 06-Jan-16 10:50:58

Great news! You must be so flattered!

NanaandGrampy Wed 06-Jan-16 09:41:44

I had to share with other gransnetters the fabulous news !

DH has complained for many years about the price of my face cream, I tell him its essential ( like beer) and it makes me look younger !!

I now have indisputable proof !

Facebook suspended my account this morning because they think I'm under 13 !!

I now have to jump through myriad hoops to attempt to prove I am , indeed, 13 x 4 and a bit !!

I'm not sure why they think that I'm a youngster because a brief look at my profile would show clearly I have had an account since about 2005. So not only am I young looking but I was plainly a child prodigy!!

But I'll take it as a good sign for my face creams work!!

Just thought that might raise a smile this morning .
