What's My Age Again?

Since i turned 50 i have been heard to utter such words of wisdom as age is just a number and you are only as old as the person you are feeling but there is no way to turn back time or drop a few years from your age unfortunately unless of course you are South Korean whose Government have given the population the  gift of youth, making them all a year or two younger overnight.
The South Korean method of working out how many candles go on your Birthday Cake was to count the age at birth as one and then a year was added every 1 January meaning if you were born on New Year’s Eve you would be two before the end of the next day.
The President, Yoon Suk Yeol, decided that it was far too confusing so has switched to the method the rest of us use which is to age one year every year and then when you hit 49 tell everyone you are 45 and start going from there.
If only we could all just understand that age is just a number and no reflection on us but i will admit that understanding it is simpler if we are given a couple of years extra to take a run at it like in the old Korean system.
