I've got a couple of decades to go. And when I reach that age, i will, of course, move the goalposts & say that middle age is when you're 70.
Why? What's wrong with being middle aged?
Nowt per se, obviously. But it's much maligned isn't it. Unfairly so.
By people like Stooo - yes. He should know better really. Anyway, if people malign middle age, the answer is not to pretend you're not middle aged, it's to tell them to grow up instead of behaving like a prat.
