Quite, the effects could be far-reaching. I'd have to mark all my Glaswegian contacts as spam for example, it'd be far too risky.

edit: I'm going to stop posting now. Or learn to touch-type.
 
What is the statuatory time limitation before old school classification is attained? That feels a bit too recent for comfort, was it 1995 or so?

95 is a bit recent, but the Lycra makes it defo old school IMHO..

Maybe instead of a date limit (e.g. 20 years) there should be a more elastic criteria (excuse the pun) such as Either..
1. Lycra (bright colour)
2. Smoking a tab mid route
3. Dreadlocks/mullet
4. ninja's / Eb's / lasers / vectors (maybe)
5. No bouldering mat - towell/manky rag.
 
The Huber picture is from 1994 , which upon reflection may not qualify for "old" (still 17 years!) although I think he is at least rocking a rather old-skool look.
 
Here are some Ormes ones I've been given whilst researching the guide:

I think they look like yosmite climbers from the 70's :)
 
Here's the last set to distract from this abysmal weather we're having :popcorn::

Dossing at Parisella's circa 1984:

Fuck the site's crashed. Was going to post the whole thing on here as rereading it, it's dynamite.

EDIT - Er slackers how do I post it when it's a .pdf?

EDIT - I'll shut up, you've already done it. :wall:

Still had it open in my PDF reader so have mirrored it here.

(@Jasper : You can't embed PDFs to the forum only link to them, I was going to stick a copy on the Wiki, but it only permits jpeg/png/gif upto 2Mb hence hosting it at the above site)
