I know. I nearly laughed. I had a cap on, but still.
There seems to be some weird cross-cultural age perception thing. The whites - some of whom are my best friends, but… - might knock 5 years off, possibly 10 if they're pissed or judge you on your clothes/attitude; but 20+years failing to register in the eyes of a number of shop-staff and work colleagues over the years, from various warmer climes.
However, have you seen the state of some of our peers in the 35-45 age bracket? It's amazing how much being an uptight repressed breadhead no imagination rat race drone can erode the veneer of youth.
Thought for the day :/
