Not looking my age?

[sawyl]

I can't really criticise, being deeply appalling at judging ages, but over the last couple of weeks I've met a number of people who've completely misjudged my age. I've been asked several times if I'm student — a bit demeaning given that most of the students currently thranging the town look about twelve — and today, when someone asked me how old I was, they thought I was winding them up when I told them.

Maybe this explains why no-one takes me seriously.
