...and I'm thinking when said trousers are pulled up as far as the armpits and have an elasticated waist. Usually teamed with a cardigan. That's when it truly begins (or endz)...

I think middle age spread refers to the relative measurements rather than absolute measurements, ie your waist gets bigger than it used to be in relation to the rest of your, er, vital statistics so you come to resemble an apple rather than an hourglass :))

Logically it's peak should be 39 years, 6 months, given that the average UK life expectancy is 79, so basically 35 to 45ish?


However, averages prove sod all. The average human being has one breast, one testicle, half a penis and half a vagina.


I am fast approaching that middle mark and I certainly don't feel middle aged, albeit I certainly DO feel older and would no longer be considered "young"


I'd say that logically you would have to subtract the first 12 years of life from the final figure, as you are undeniably pre-adolescent. Therefore the mid point between 13 and 79 is 46. Take that as the peak of middle age and add 5 years either side, I'd say that middle age should commence at 41 and conclude at 51.


But like any methodology is just musing and opinion.

A man far older and wiser than me once told me, ?Son, when a man reaches a certain age his hips start to spread and there?s nothing he can do about it.?


To which I replied, ?Yeah dad, same can be said for some of the girls I know and their legs.?


In reply to which he smacked me in the head and said, ?That?s the last time I try to pass on fatherly advice to you yah wee gobshite. Learn some respect for ladies.?


? And to think I paid for these pints.?


I think he was just pissed off because he had reached middle age.

When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like and still climb into your 26 inch waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age, 24 / 25, your muscles give up they wave a little white flag and then without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
