Yeah but the young stuff, well, their bits all tend to stay where they're meant to, gravity is a bitch.

This is one of the many reasons to marry an Asian. :)

Yes ! Yes! We know FK. we have been regaled of the delicious meals and cakes your prettier half makes you, how she lights the bedroom with her sultry beauty- You now tantalise us about her gravity defying parts.

While you are indeed a lucky man -  Do you really want us all to go and sulk??

After 52 votes cast I am looking at an average age in the high 40s/low 50s. Men (and women) that have seen quite a share of life, take things more pourposeful, slower and after deliberation.

The general attitude and tone reflects this. Hardly any "steam" that needs to be vented, small points being sought or similar. Rather gentlemen exchanging opinions and this is why here is my favourite forum.

You know when people say to you "Oh, but I'm 21 inside"? They have their own internal age setting?

I've been 66 inside since I was 16.

In think the actual purchasers are not the kids but their parents, uncles and grand parents.  What 12 or 15 year old do you know that could afford figures at £10-15 a pop, unless they are into something illegal?

Good point. Do we suspect the "end users" are in that age band? Certainly the staff seem to be.

I suspect the GW end-user's age range fits with H G Wells description of the target audience for "Little Wars"

"... boys of every age from twelve to one hundred and fifty – and even later if the limbs remain sufficiently supple – by girls of the better sort, and by a few rare and gifted women." :)

That reminds me of when my  15 Year old Daughter wanted a pair of Dr Marten boots for her birthday last year. We went to the Dr Martens shop in the shopping centre,  As we walked in I realised that my own boots were older than any of the staff!
