Quite agree Pat, we know a number of couples where one is more than 10 years older than the other, I cannot believe anyone is serious about the age gap where the younger one is 59 for pete's sake. I might find it a bit more creepy in the Ed Stewart case referred to above where his wife was 17 and he was 34, not necessarily a stopper but certainly creepy, if that had been my 17 year old daughter I would have been seriously concerned.

Heh heh! That's just dragged back a memory for me of travelling to a meeting in Birmingham many years ago with a fellow Scot and us both being flummoxed when we were asked if we would like a "kowk with oys" After what seemed an eternity of misunderstanding but trying desperately not to show it we eventually worked out that we were being offered a glass of Coke.

>>"kowk with oys" Love it. Rarely hear a real yam-yam now. I was in digs once for a while, about 1972, with a lad from Cradley Heath. I used to engage him in conversation just to hear him talk. I was toasting a couple of crumpets with the gas fire when he came in one day and asked what they were. I told him "crumpets" and offered him one. "Them am poyklitts!" was the response.

I was so angry at reading that sweeping judgement on just the 'look' of a couple my fingers typed badly:) I shall clarify for you all to be shocked now. I am 27 years older than Ian. In the 14 years or so we've been together we've been on the brunt end of some of that type of judgement, not much I have to admit, but enough and mainly by the very young. It's not nice when it happens but I usually find that if I ask what the problem is in my usual direct way, there is never an answer forthcoming, so perhaps Smokie can enlighten me?

On a serious note, ( yeah I know I'm not famous for those ) but genuinely for once, my father was 16 years older than my mother. He was 35 and she was 19 I think when they married. And no, it didn't matter, they were very happy indeed. Until he died aged 73 and sadly that left her on her own until she in turn passed away after a further 31 years on her own. She never wanted anyone else and I know she was very lonely sometimes. I'm 6 years older than my wife and so far it hasn't been noticeable, we both keep pretty fit and active but I guess there will come a day when I start to slow down more than she'd like... So far so good though! Reply to this message | Report message

It was the comment 'It makes me cringe' Why? What do you imagine to make you cringe? How can you judge anything from just a visual impression? I learned long ago to look beneath what I see and so often find something I never dreamed was there. It's the long list of 'typical' comments, all meant flippantly but when overheard, hurt a lot. I make no apology that it brings out the worst in me, because surely in these enlightened times we should all be more tolerant of what is considered acceptable? It has it's funny side though! The last time this happened was over Christmas in a lovely Italian restaurant. We'd had an exceptionally good meal. Ian had asked for the table, ordered the wine and finally asked the waitress for the bill. She went to get it and placed it firmly down in front of me. I flipped. Ian sat there thinking 'Remember, this is why I fell in love with this woman, because she's feisty and now I have to live with it until she dies'! I went and found the waitress and asked her why? She had no answer, she didn't know, or was too embarrassed to say, why she made an assumption. I bet she won't do it again though. Pat Reply to this message | Report message

Which of you asked for the bill, or who did all the ordering? Some women might be offended if the waiter put the bill in front of the man. I'm just glad when they give it to somebody else! Reply to this message | Report message

Ian did the ordering and asked for the bill, that's why I was displeased. Smokie, not asking for an apology, just to make you think how hurtful 'throw away blokey comments' can be, that's all. I have to note though when faced with the direct question of 'why?', you have done exactly the same as the waitress did:) Pat Reply to this message | Report message
