Well these Idiots take the biscuit.

Not many dads below age 18. So they are looking at age range 18-45 that's 27 years. When men can be dad's up to 80-90 and 45 is just ridiculously low. Ignoring over half the possible candidates. Probably dreamt up by some 12 year old exec.

I reckon that what emc's not saying is that s/he's on the look-out for fitties: fabby daddies (is that what we're calling them?)


Also, assume s/he's taking into account the age of said glossy magazine's readership, so for instance an Easy Living reader might be happy ogling a dad in his 30s and 40s, whereas a dad in his 50s and 60s is more Saga fodder, and beyond that, we're really talking about People's Friend, and no one wants to go there. They don't photograph you, so much as call in a courtroom sketch artist.


Also I don't think you really count as a single dad when your progeny's a fully-formed adult themselves. Unless you're John Humphries, that rules out a lot of pensioners. Although Sean Connery, topless, with a baby / kitten - yeah, I'd probably have a gander.

as rosieh said the age cut off is due to the readership age of the magazine in question and of course we want lovely pics of the men with their little ish children, not their adult children ...There must be some single dads in east d as i seem to know an increasing number of single mums but i guess not many want to shout about it a magazine...

A ssssssshite for sssssssssshore eyes misssh moneypenny....

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
