Is that a foggy or old fogey? I am 70 still work full time. I have numerous hobbies pen turning is just one of them. I shoot competitively and travel all over the Northeast Of England to take part. I am a Secretary of a shooting Club. I am on the Committee of another Club. I have a woodturning shed and a metalworking shed. I am active reasonably fit. How old are you and how are you doing.:thumbs:

Fogeyism is not necessarily directly related to age. It's possible to be a young fogey I think (for instance, think Prince Charles throughout his entire life - he might be an old fogey now, but he started off as a young fogey, after which he became a middle aged fogey):devil:

When your eldest turns 64 ,your wife and best friend converts you from Old Fogey to her best friend of 68yrs plus. Ageism is foreign to me always has been. Caused a stir before Christmas visited my mate in Melbourne travelling solo non stop the 400 miles.

You become an old fogey when you become a grumpy old man Mark
