THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

Jeez that made me laugh Kath
Im definuetly at No 4. I was wondering why kids everywhere look at me with affection.
Here is a picture of yours truly taken recently in Blakes, have used it before, but Ive cut Barry W-S out of it this time to save him from embarassment. Grow my beard down a bit and I might get some short term employment.
In true ageing style I forgot to upload the picture..have done now...

My uncle George used to say that middle age starts when policemen start to look young, and ends when you are older than the Prime Minister.

I'm at number 4 too.
You're too thin to be Santa PaulB - but you have the right smile in your eyes.

I think there are also lots of people I know who could be No.4. Very appropriate.

Someone sent me this one a good while ago, years ago in fact, and we did show it in the old days, but I searched through oodles of pix and found it as its very appropriate for this thread..

Glad you enjoyed that one Kath Its really apt isnt it. They left out motorbike there though which is a bit hurtful but we cant have everything. I think its the only mode of transport they left off...but of course riding motorbikes is strictly a pastime for the unhinged!!

Certain people of a certain age class a Zimmer frame as a bycycle.
I'm still using stabilisers.
