OT Is it me?

Few adults remember what it was like being a child. Even the elementary
difference between to sexes was regarded as forbidden knowledge.

That takes me back to the childhood memories thread. I can clearly
remember the girl involved in my 'you show me yours and I'll show you
mine' moment, but cannot remember how old I was. Primary school, of
course. I haven't seen her for a least 50 years, but remember her name,
and where it took place.

I though bald heads implied enhanced fertility, so there might well be
an advantage after all.

That is obviously true - he says, polishing the dome :-)

Someone below the age of consent

No, a child is defined in law:

The Children and Young Persons Act 1933 defines a child as a person
under 14
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 defines a child as someone under 16 (for
consent purposes)
In the Criminal Justice System you are treated as an adult for sentencing
at 17, but not put into an Adult Prison until 21. 18-21 year old's
normally go to YOI, and 17 year old's would be put into secure
accommodation.
The Protection of Children Act 1978 defines a child as Under 18.
For Child Benefit you parent can still be in receipt while you are at
college until you are 19.

And don't forget, ignorance of the law is no defence...

My next question was, "And what is sex?"
