I’ve just seen Brucie on tv with his stunning ex Miss World wife who is a few decades his junior. They always seem to be laughing together, and he is always very loving towards her, who would have thought their marriage would have endured the last 25 years? And it was his third marriage.

I think it sometimes can where there is a genuine meeting of minds.

Ignore Philipa. She’s very pretty actually. That’s not just my opinion – it’s Numania’s too and both he and I are connoiseurs of the finer things.

Mensana, you are right about Flowerpot, and as I read her blog regularly, I can vouch for their genuine love. I did not realise there was such a big age difference. However, he is a musician, and you know what they say about music being the food of love…

I am sure they are not alone, I hope there are many more couples like them. I have an artist friend who fell in love with one of his young pupils and they had an enduring partnership over many years until she died of cancer. It certainly is possible.

I don’t think age would matter in my case, being blind might be a huge help for any man I might fancy though.

Well Ellee if he has an intellect and power, the chances are he will have money. If not then he isn’t using his attributes to the best of his ability

But my faith in humankind has been (partly) restored by flowerpot!

I think intellect and power would be a greater aphrodisiac for me with an older man than money. He would be immensely interesting and stimulating company and know how to make a woman feel good.

I’m 18 years younger than my husband and we’ve been together for 12 years. We dont have many interests in commmon and neither of us have any money but we have a similar intelligence, a shared sense of humour and the same values – more or less! That counts for a lot.

And don’t forget the story which broke yesterday in our own neck of the woods.

I don’t think it matters too much for a while but it will eventually be a problem at some stage in my opinion.
