oh yeah and I still chuckle. I did for many years, look much younger than my real age. Examples to back this up:
being asked for ID when buying glue (I was 25 at the time) and being asked for ID in America buying a beer (I was 38 at the time). Grey hairs now are a give a way but...
I was at a psychic fayre where one of the readers did a little chat to us who were waiting. She asked me to choose a card and asked what I did for a living. I told her (was a policewoman at the time) and she went off on a spiel about how I would not get that promotion yet as I was seen to be too young but one day it would happen, when I had more experience behind me. A couple of things to bear in mind:
a) I had been a policewoman around 15 years by then

b) I hadn't even gone for promotion, being rather happy with the rank I had.
She had made a grave mistake of looking at me and making one huge assumption. My mate (who joined at the same time as I did) was furious but I saw the funny side and realised how some readers operate.
