    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/7458147/Middle-age-begins-at-35-and-ends-at-58.html

    A report came out a few years back (above) that stated that most Britons believe that middle age begins at age 35 and ends at age 58.

    I think this is starting a bit early. Middle age for me was always those guys who are at least in their late 40s or early 50s, who has a child graduating school, and preparing to go into university. Or already in university.

    I'm in this age range (35-58) and I don't consider myself middle age. In fact I don't even have any children yet.

    When do you think people become middle aged?

    My dad is 55 and is certainly not middle aged. He looks and acts much younger. It's all down to people's opinions. If I was to walk past him I would not think middle aged. I walked past a 35 year old junkie yesterday who looked like a pensioner though.

    Middle age is usually considered to be between the 5th to the 15th century after the collapse of the Roman Empire.

    Only photos I've ever had here were of Cadete. And maybe a pair of trainers. Think I may have posted some photos of my dogs, though.

    I've actually never been to California. My wife has, though. And she's not even American!

    Did you walk by this junkie and ask his age or did he have a big 35 birthday badge on him?
