The safe way to estimate a lady's age is to knock off 10 years,it will save you getting floored,big handbags a fashionable these days!!So that makes me 40!

CONGRATULATIONS ARRY

Tyke bhoy - you are very wise not to take a guess at a woman's age. I might not be old enough to remember Dior's New Look but certainly remember the mini skirt first time round, along with Jesus sandals, love beads, loons and Afghan coats. But give my age away? Never. You'll have to cut me in half and count the rings.

It still had bits of oldmeat stuck to the inside and it stank 'orrible!Our poor hound took one look ,howled, and ran off down the road!He liked the smell tho' when he returned, and became bestof friends with the coat!
