Happy new decade from a 1948-born subscriber. I hope I've found the right box. My wife's mother, with whom we have just celebrated the new year, has just entered her twelfth decade, in very good health. No need to make a new box, though. I can pass on her best wishes here.

Happy new year DG, May 2020 bring all that you would wish for, and thanks for at least 10 years of entertaining reading.
I was born 34 days before the end of the 40s, and, to my surprise, I find myself in my 9th decade. And somewhat earlier than might have been as I’m currently in New Zealand visiting my son and his family

Happy New Year DG. A surprise to find I am in my ninth decade - I celebrated reaching my 70th birthday in August 2019.

Happy new year everyone. At the time of starting to write this it would have pushed us nine-decaders into top slot. It will be interesting to see the approximate age profile of DG's readership.

Happy New decade DG. Even if you're making me feel terribly ancient

I played the game, even though I am one of the fast-decreasing set of sad pedants who think that we've a year to go before the next decade starts.
Anyway, happy new year, happy new decade, to all; I hope it is even better than you hope, and better than we perhaps deserve.
And especially to DG, my second stop after I turn the computer on (after Astronomy Picture of the Day). Long may you continue!

Happy New Year and Decade to you DG and to all fellow DG readers. Let us all hope for a lower level of strife than is perhaps indicated for the coming years and look forward to many delights of DG blogging year by year.
Many thanks DG.

Oh, dear, am I really in my 9th decade? I was born in 1949.

Happy New Year to everyone from another one rather surprised to find himself a ninth decader...but then until I read today's DG mindstretcher, I can't say I had ever thought of my age in terms of decades!

Happy new year to DG and nine-decade well-wishers! We seem quite well represented on the grid.

1947 for me exactly 73 years ago. Still in the records as one of the longest/coldest Winters. I'm n Australia now where there are different records being set. Happy New Year to DG and all your readers.

It had never struck me that my birth, in 1943 in Epping, predated the NHS. I learn that London County Council operated hospitals. Did my mother choose Epping because it wasn't LCC, or because of bombing?

Happy New Year to all DG's readers. Yes, many of those here, including me, would be pre-NHS; I remember my mother saying so, and that my younger sister was born in an NHS hospital, but that there was little difference except that it was now free.
And I can just about remember that very cold winter, and rationing...but I'm definitely not being nostalgic about any of them.
