Re: Oldest avatar
Willow had the same avatar for the longest time.
Maybe my current avatar is the "oldest" in a sense. That's my grandad, Albert Ashton, born in 1898.

I believe it would be somewhere between 1915 and 1917. According to my late mother, he served in the Kings Own ... I presume in one of the service batallions of the Kings Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster). I assume it couldn't have been later than 1917, as he was wounded and gassed at Passchendaele. Also according to my mom, he was 16 when he joined up.

Re: Oldest avatar
Mine changes seasonally.
So like myself, it doesn't age.
The one that caused most fuss was the little winker.
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...eye-39338.html
It can be quite funny when people comment, and then it changes.
Sarah once commented that my avatar, of Edith Sitwell, looked like Pendy, but by then it had changed to Lord Leighton's Autumn painting.
Liking change, having the oldest avatar is a competition I'll never win.
