Just wondering. It has suprised me in some cases when I found out how young some users are on here. Users that I before imagined to be old, experienced railwaymen.

I'll start off, I'm 21.

I am old! So it would be wrong for me to put my age down.

According to some cheeky sod I was working with the other day just about ½ way to my box. After laughing a little, I left him... Lying there on the floor!

My age is a prime number. When the digits of my age are added together, the answer is nine less than my age.

I am not going to tell you! :lol: (I don't need to; I've probably said before here and it's in my profile. Instead, a few hints to my exact date of birth...

The Hillsborough disaster was little more than two weeks away.
Maggie was in the twilight of her time as PM.
Islip would re-open when I was six weeks old.
The 50th anniversary of the start of the Second World War would come later in the year.
The Exxon Valdez accident happened just days earlier.
Iron Curtain borders would soon be abolished.
The Simpsons debuted in America a few months later.
I experienced my first April Fool's Day aged 125 minutes.

So a midway point between the reponses we have had already :)

Good to see that there are younger and older on here, regrettably I lost interest in trains about 16 and then caught the bug again in my late 20's.

Was more interested in music and playing in bands at that age, then when that peetered out I was like "oh yeah trains, why did I ever stop??"

In for the long haul now though :)

It's too obvious to be 1st April so... 31st March? :p
