How old are we

[qbman1]

I was wondering how Frank managed to fit a 78rpm record on his 'phone

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's probably an iPhone78

[qbman1]

Ready scratched ?

[Frank Manning]

No it's a Samsung 5(6). Anyway I thought albums were called L.P.'s. I can sit in bed in the morning and look at Yahoo, BBC, and CC. But I have such big fingers that trying to write anything makes lots of mistakes on that fiddling little imaginary keyboard. Why cant they make a bigger one for grown ups, they could call it an iPad.

[qbman1]

There's a market for that Frank - maybe an OldPad ?!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Isn't that a sanitary product?

You need to invest in a stylus, or 2 or 3 or 4, depending on how many jackets you intend to carry the phone around in, best thing I ever bought.

By the way anyone noticed the over 70's are making a late run for the lead.

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's just members aging as the poll continues........

[Not so ancient mariner]

As I type this, 96% of respondents are over the age of 50, and 77% over 60. How does that fit in with the cruise lines' demographics?

I thought I'd better vote now before next week when I change groups !

It does not, it most probably fits in with the age range of the forum members.

[Mervyn and Trish]

And in fairness that's what I set out to establish.

I was referring to the question in the first posting

"Are we representative of the established market or the new target one?"

Me - 70 - 80
Mary - 60-70

In answer to your second answer, NO we are not the representative of the established market or new target one. It just represents this forum. If the group polled are from a select age group, 50+ you then cannot take the answer, ie 100% are over 50 and say that the cruise industry has got it wrong by marketing their ships towards the under 50s.

It is like saying, we, this forum has 1500 members so why built ships of 2000+ as it is a waste os space.

Welcome to the forum, you little cradlesnatcher you!!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Actually I think the results suggest we are represenative largely of the established market which tends towards 50 plus people.

I had the same problem Frank but I bought this bluetooth qwerty keypad thingy and it is brilliant, it is very light and charges up via a USB cable and it always goes in my hand luggage when on the move. It is a bit bulky to carry around with you but then I use the voice recognition facility, the only problem with that is people think I am talking to myself but at my age I suppose they think this is normal.
