Right. This has been going on for years, but now I need to ask the question.

WHY? do so many people stop their cars to ask ME directions?  There could be 10 people walking along a pavement and I guarantee they will ask me. Why?

It happened twice today on the way to the pub within 20 yards. First a big black mamma looking for a children's playcentre, then 2 East Europeans looking for a road (which unfortunately for them was in the exact opposite direction that they were heading).

Why ME? Do I look honest, knowledgeable, approachable, helpful? WHY?

(Awaits sarcastic responses)

It is Sweet Little Old Man syndrome. You must look older than you are.

I get it all the time and always do my best to explode the myth by looking hostile and shouting at them that I have no idea, as I have just been released into the community.

DS, most people say I look about 35. And that's years of age, not inches before BM pipes up...
