"Anne Fogarty was about forty but looked thirty-five, or maybe she was thirty-five and looked her age. It was hard to tell these days, when 21-year-olds were so primped and groomed and orange-faced they often looked like startled 55-year-old millionaires' wives with too much work done."
All I know is your best keeping any estimates to yourself - whatever you guess, whether it's too young or old it's going to offend in some way.

Rob - A very wise and well-made point! ;-)
Rob- I agree far too tricky for any man to deal with today.
But for me the real annoyance is when I ask for a reduced seniors ticket and they don't ask for ID.
No comment! Other than to say a couple of years ago I got on a bus with my grandfather and we got into difficulties because they wanted to see his pass and didn't believe he was senior enough. He was 90 at the time!
