those that said Hi to me whilst out @ Cannock on Sunday.Four people said "Hi Rich" as our paths crossed and I did not have a clue who they were.
So it looks as though my memory is fading aswell as my joints so apologies to all concerned.
Anyone else having problems or is it because I have a beard and am therefore very recognisable.

Rich about time we had a bearded smiley face ๐Ÿ˜›

it's the smell rich, not the beard

or maybe both

either way it's because you are unique

I am the same as you Rich - I cant remeber names unless I stop and repeat the persons name to myself a few times while looking at them, unless they're attractive and female strangely! I can recognise the face from a mile off as someone I know, I just cant link the two ๐Ÿ˜€

Wasn't me.
Nope.

I was far too busy trying to avoid all the chavs riding Lapierre & Trek demo bikes around.

That green Ibis Mojo on the Santa-Cruz stand.
Bike porn. That's what that was.

I'm terrible at recognising people I've met previously - some people must think I'm really ignorant sometimes! I don't mean to be. Shortsighted, poor memory for names, and an apparant inability to recognise faces.

Normally recognise you and Sascha though (even in pubs in the Lake District - I wasn't even sure then, was I !?!)

Were you on your blue bike? They could be people from here who recognised you or your bike from photos.

I have trouble with some names - I call people Steve who are called Mike and Rich who are called Bob, stuff like that.

Thing is, why don't people correct you when you get their names wrong?!
