We did Roman History in the lower 6th, for an extra "O" level. We only did half the syllabus, and we all passed! That story, albeit with the wrong person (right war, boat, chickens) is about the only thing I remember!

Bah.
Alex Trebeck would be disappointed.
Decades end with the next aught year. So, for example, the 50's consist of years 51-60...

So a 0-1 year old child wouldn't fit in a decade?

If that were the case, I wouldn't be only 3% and all on my lonesome.

Nah, Iolanthe, you're just our curve-breaker.
Interesting, but kind of unsurprising to me, that we have no young'uns any more.

Not surprising. A bit disappointing though. I first read SRD when I was in my early teens. And that was 20 years ago. Yeesh. How did that happen?

well, if Beorn frequented areas of the Watch outside of GT, he would currently be the lone 15-19, when he voted.

That's just not true;
Ezio also fits in
That category

And Ezio's most recent visit to the Watch was?
Whereas you would have to check Beorn's GT characters to see his most recent visit...

"Book 10 of 45-year-old series" doesn't really draw in the young readers.

Well, yeah, that was my point.
Still, you never know. I mean, who would have ever thought 8-track tapes would make a comeback? Not that I would ever equate SRD with 8-track tapes...
I think I'll just quit typing now.

8-track tapes have made a come back?
For HaShem's sake...
...why?

My point exactly.

The reason is quite evident when one considers how 8-track tapes work. They are naught but a single continuous loop...that usually arrives at its starting point at a most unexpected and inconvenient moment.
If they have returned, perhaps we just came around the loop...

27. So far my life on the Watch could be a movie called Forever Young.

Welp, I'm most certainly in the 20-29 bracket, (21 nearly 22, to be exact) so I kinda get what you mean there, Worm of Despite!
