Hi. In a few days time, I finally get retired from the 40’s club and become a fledgling 50’s member. My wife is stockpiling birthday candles as we speak and is hoping when she finally lights all 50, we don’t burn the house down - assuming she can find a cake big enough to fit them all on 
I think the worst thing about “coming of age” is I’m getting a lot of junk mail about 50’s insurance plans and equity release schemes. :mad:
Trust me Graham, that is definitely not the worst thing about getting older…
Welcome to the forum, and I hope that you enjoy the company of us grown ups…

Welcome to the forum Graham - hope you enjoy being here. By the way at 50 you are still a spring chicken!
Hello Graham, and a very warm welcome to you.
Hello 
nice to meet you - hope you enjoy the forum 
Welcome to the forum Graham, hope to see you posting soon.
Welcome to the forum, you do realise that with all the H&S rubbish in the UK you are no longer allowed more than 10 candles…:-p
Hi Graham, Welcome on board!
Hello Graham

wait till you hit 60 and start getting mail about stair lifts and incontinence pads :shock:
Ha!,very good Meg, if we manage to reach 90, do we get quotes from the undertaker?.
…probably
I’m not ninety yet and I get stuff about pre-paid funerals - do they know something I don’t!!! Anyway Graham you have a long way to go yet - so worry not and enjoy your youth.
I’m trying to. I have only eight days of it left!!!
Welcome Graham, age is just a number so fear not 
Funeral plans? A paid up member already!
Yes, it’s true, and they must be placed at least four inches apart, and be no higher than six inches.
ETA - Oh nearly forgot, welcome 50 is a good age to be:!:
You are a mere child Graham as they say in the Army “Get some in Lad”
