muleguy52: Hi,Mike. I think that what no 1 brighton girl meant,was that while it is ok for a 20 year old girl to date a 40 year old man,for better compatibility between the partners,this age gap needs to reduce as time goes on.
I mean,Bruce Forsyth & Anthea Redfern type relationships do exist,but i think they are thin on the ground.
OK muleguy - I take all your points and we will have to agree to differ simply because of the mention of Bruce and there are many others like him that are not so high profile.
BTW *Wnnie* his wife Wilnelia Merced (A Miss World) is a super lady too and I am damn sure she would be offended by you saying Anthea Redfearn!
Win is much younger than Bruce too and for the record I have met both and had the honour to play for him when he did an act involving *all* his talents including playing with us at a charity gig was playing drums with an Ashford based Shearing and Modern Jazz Quartet style band before I retired from the scene. He is also a better pianist in his own right than you see on TV - Take it from me and IMO he should have been knighted long ago !!
I also believe what you say about age is parallel to the one size fits all theory, metaphorically speaking.
That is the rubbish the younger generation who think they control all our lives (40's) is talking and I like many my age will never comply with it as long as we don't letb them rule us, think young and can act it.
No offenses meant to anyone but That is MY opinion based on experience
Age is no barrier unless you let it dominate any relationship so in the words of the Beatles I will * Let it be *
