Charlottechicken Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 OH and I spent last week in North Yorkshire, visiting lots of coastal towns and villages Whilst in Bridlington, enjoying a little stroll around the town, we heard an old chap on a mobility scooter shout "S'cuse me, girls!". He meant us! As he drove past us and we half turned around, he must have realised that OH was not a very tall broad shouldered young lady, but a middle aged bloke with long hair and a beard! He quickly exclaimed "Ooh, sorry!", then watched us walking off. They obviously don't get too many long haired blokes in Bridlington. OH was thrilled, he said he hasn't been mistaken for a girl in many years, since the days when his band dressed very glam in ladies blouses, lots of makeup and big hair. Apparently, many a taxi driver was wrong footed in the early hours of the morning after a gig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The "girls" would have thrilled me too - at 51 the only guys who chat me up often dont have their own hair or teeth Poor old boy - should've gone to Specsavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I hadn't thought about it being a compliment for me too. At 47, pushing 48 I should be thankful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Perhaps I am being cynical but, at nearly 49, if I get a compliment I wonder what the 'complimentee' wants! However, I was chatting to another mum at school last week and we were discussing weather...I mentioned the REALLY hot summer of 76 and she said she was surprised that I could remember it. I said that I'd be 49 in a month or so and she told me that she was surprised as I don't look that old Still can't work out how to take that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinsk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Years ago, will be over 20 years ago, a friend of mine was going out with a lad with long hair, they got in the back of a taxi and started having a bit of a cuddle, the taxi driver stopped the cab and said "alright girls that's enough, I'm having none of that in here" don't know who was more mortified! Obviously 20+ years ago the political correctness of it all didn't come into it. I put in a jumper dress yesterday as it's gone a bit nippy, one of the guys at the tyre place next to my office told me I looked very smart, like a school girl told my husband when I got home and he said "well it is rather short love" I'm sure it wasn't as short last year!
