I went to college when I was 16 and joined the student union there and added two years onto my birth date. This gave me my bargaining tool to get into night clubs but I must have applied my make up with a trowel as I was never asked for the ID!!!
There was this bloke I went out with a month after my 19th birthday who was 2 months short of his 34th birthday. He said he was 27 because he thought if he said his real age he would not get a second date. He eventually told me but it took me forever to tell my mother who had only just gotten used to the fact he was 27!!!
Anyway, 18 years and 4 months on, we are still together (just).
