Soul-Brother Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 If you are talking about 'Northern Soul' soulies..then about 50.. I am 60..was there at the start..before Wigan was ever heard of..and soul was all sorts.....so that pushes the average up a bit Barry
Mandy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I'm a mere child at 41 .. and always the youngest one out with our mates .. so I would say it's anywhere between 45/50
Dave Thorley Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Be honest, because it is an honest question! Hard one to answer Do you mean real age or mental age
Baz Atkinson Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Definetly 45-50 if your after n average. BAZ A.

Only a question mate Baz is right there was a poll on here once, had a goodly amount of votes and gave a clear indication as to average age on scene etc. Was a while ago though.

Supercorsa Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Did you not study geography at school, Ken? I am sure that the United Kingdom, (Great Britain, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, any other names you wish to use) form part of the continent which is known as Europe.

You dont see the french having to produce a passport to travel to germany,if we were Europeans we would have the freedom to travel within` its borders without a passport,and we wouldnt have to put the clokces bakc,a dissadvantage when doing busness with em`.
Guest Bogue Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 40 something Strange thing getting old, you still pretty much think inside like you did at 19 but the face in the mirror says 'f****** sad old git', terrible isn't it ? Makes you realise why your parents were always so bloody miserable

good angel Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Chris, You 37, never,with a face thats worn two bodys out,you must be older. Kind Regards,Kev
Supercorsa Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 38 years 5 months and 6 days to be precise, work that date of birth out if you can. 17 May 1968.
Guest Bearsy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 17 May 1968. 10 out of 10 you Supercorsa. the prize is on its way to you as i type.
Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks everybody - I only wanted to make myself feel good !! I am still young you see !!!
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) no this is bad i am only 25 but honestly when i go to these Northern soul nights i see people who dad knows who are younger then him. so i think boy he is getting on at age of 54 but i guess i would have said age 50 onwards for Northern soul. Some i know locally wasn't even old enough to get into Wirrina but attended Fleet later on. (i think dad and people like Paul D are getting older but enjoy it more now despite age) Edited October 25, 2006 by WPaulVanDyk
