I teach one class amongst others called IT for the Terrified and that's mainly people over 70 and I have some classics I could share but obviously I'm not allowed which is a shame.

I would have thought that as long as you don't name names you would be ok.

You wouldn't get my parents anywhere near a computer!!

Not sure Jan but would never compromise my position as if they were reading the forum! I'd be devestated and you never know who is who on the forum. x

True, then again I don't think I'd admit to it anyway!!

I admire 'seniors' who don't let age get in the way of learning, my mother passed her driving test at 68![:)]

power to your Mum Andy, very admirable. We have some senior students on qualification courses too. 88 is has been our oldest student to complete a qualification.

My mother has never been behind the wheel of a car in her life and never would. Both my parents have always been old before their time.

Thankfully I'm not.

My mum was a big enough danger to other road users as a passenger in the car --- Lord alone knows what devistation would have ensued had she ever been behind the wheel !!

She was bad enough on her moped, mounting the pavement regularly to look in shop windows (I kid you not!) Of all places she once crashed into the front of the local Nick!

sorry Foggy had to stifle a laugh there despite being at work!

My Mum can't read and write let alone use a computer and driving well I'd give up if she started!

Some of the silver surfers who we have are very good and others well that's another story!

Lesley, the funny thing was that after passing her test my mum got behind the wheel of their car maybe twice in the six years before she died in January, probably just wanted to show she could [:)]
