    How old are you?

    I posted this thread in 2014 and it occurred to me that it's time to do another.

    Well apparently I still qualify for the youth section of collectors corner.

    Short of joining the Conservative Party or the Anglican Church it’s very much the only youth section I’ll ever see again
    Morally flawed

    Poll looks like it’s averaging 60 yo so far.

    Quite a few names we don't seem to see anymore since the 2014 Poll.
    Makes you wonder

    That’s interesting. On your 2014 poll the “under 45” section would be the largest chunk, albeit by combining the 2 sub categories it was split into that time. Doesn’t look like it is now!

    Cheers

    Since Eddie (Edbear3) wasn't banned from the BBS but rather declined to re-join after a spat with a mod, I'll put his age here: 66, 67 in January. Fortunately, he's active on the other UK airgun forum.

    We should probably give it another few weeks to mop up the occasional visitors Greg. But yes, the younger ones certainly look less active thus far.

    That was such a loss of a really decent fellow from the BBS. Apart from delving deep into the power and accuracy of the Bsa Improved D, he must have spent many hours kindly applying his expert engineering skills to repairs on members rifles, including bringing one of my .22 Sporting Patterns back to life after a 20 year hiatus.

    I'm neither under 45 nor 46. You should have phrased it in the poll as 45 or under...
