Im my day, I had a student grant that didn't need repaying (a whole £90 per term in my first year) but it was for the vast majority School->uni>work before we had any money we could put aside for a holiday, let slone a year off.
A gap year isn't necessarily a year long holiday though. I worked for a year after uni and then went travelling for a year but worked in pubs/fruit picking/a drainage company and various other things whilst I was away

It's my 70th on Tuesday and, I think, I'm the oldest poster so far. Hopefully, I can retire by the end of the year.

You're just a juvenile. A few have posted as being over 70 including me!

Re: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!
Can anyone be bothered to trawl through the replies and work out our average age? At the moment, I can’t summon the energy - being older.

Re: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!
Seeing as the vast majority of us are over 50, I hope at least some of you taken the advice given in this old thread

Re: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!
Bob, I just went through this in January/February this year when I showed up a PSA of 3.25 in a routine health blood test which I requested. Not very high but my doctor said everyone recording over 3.0 should go for an MRI scan. This showed Up abnormalities which gave a score which suggested I had a 54% chance of suffering with cancer.
Was then told to have a biopsy which was no worse than being uncomfortable as you said in your link. Luckily I am free of cancer but even if I had had it; at this early stage it would have been easily treated. In what way, I don’t know. Now I am on their “books”, the hospital plan is to give me another blood test every 6 months.
I didn’t have any symptoms other than needing to urinate more frequently especially after pints of beer. Also I have to pee 2 or 3 times each night. So I don’t drink much beer now as 3-4 pints takes about 12 hours to get through my system and then I need to pee less often!
So it is worth having a routine blood test for your well being which checks the prostate, cholesterol, diabetes etc.
Bob, glad you posted your link and pray that you are still well.

All I can say Stan is that you are just a pipsqueak as are the majority on here.

Must be different to my boys then they owe around £70k between the 3 that went to Uni. No bank of Mum & Dad here.

With age comes wisdom yet we are all daft enough to follow a club that plays unattractive football.

Re: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!
35 and will be 36 this year.
I guess I would be considered a millennial but an old one that came of age during what could be called the tail end of Gen X’s lime light. In a way I feel more nostalgia for that period of time rather than when I was reaching my late teens/early 20s as by then the things I was into (culture wise) were generally fairly outside of the mainstream, so popular culture didn’t penetrate into my leisure time and meant less to me. This was probably aided by the emerging ease of seeking things out on the internet, which itself feels like a slightly different place to the social media saturated internet of today and the recent past. So still a pretty analogue childhood with a pretty digital adulthood.
Finished university just before the exorbitant rises in fees, first in my family to attend one, entered the workforce just before the financial crash, and although I’ve managed to be almost consistently employed since then and have managed to save home ownership feels the biggest issue that’s out of kilter with the experience of my parents’ generation to my own (I do live in London however, but saying that so did they when they owned).
Although my parents were themselves relatively “alternative” and themselves married and had children fairly late in their lives for their generation, I think one thing I appreciate about being the age I am now is that the pressure to do these things by a certain age probably isn’t as strong as it would have been had I grown up in an earlier time.

Is that the forum when you get a total lifetime ban (for something really gross) which lasts 1) until the poster creates a new account or 2) until there's a poll to decide whether the lifetime ban should be a week?
