      "Developing a fondness for Sherry"

        Some of the others I tick, like forgetting names and enjoying sherry and knowing nothing about the top ten, don't count because I could have ticked the same when I was 18.

          "The study for Engage Mutual Assurance... Tina Clare of Engage Mutual said..." - so, a press release from Engage Mutual dressed up as a news story. Have this company purchased advertising space in the Mail by any chance?

          I'm also left wondering how they got to the headline "The 30 telltale signs that you're really getting old" when the story itself states that "While some of the high-scoring indicators may be part of the process of getting older, they are not necessarily the sole preserve of the older generation" - in other words, they are not signs that you are getting old. Still, it's pretty much standard for a Mail story's final paragraph to completely contradict the attention-grabbing headline

          For the record, I haven't switched from Radio 1 to Radio 2: like all intelligent people, I have only ever listened to Radio 4
