I'm 40 and my daughter is 19 but people think we're sisters - so, can YOU tell who is younger?

Daily Mail​2 days ago
A 40-year-old mother has claimed men mistake her and her teenage daughter as sisters or friends at gigs.
Lynsey Schofield, from Blackpool, Lancashire, said people often think she's 20 years younger than she is, with her daughter admitting it's 'annoying' when young lads hit on her mother.
Lynsey was just 21 when she had her daughter, Melody Heslop, 19, and the two are now best friends.
The lookalike pair go to concerts and festivals together and have seen Liam Gallagher, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and most recently Oasis together.
The mother-of-two said fellow concert-goers have been shocked to learn she is a mother when they see her in the crowd and doubtful bouncers have even asked her for ID on the door.
Meanwhile, daughter Melody admitted it does get 'a bit annoying' when lads her own age want to chat up her mother.
Lynsey said: 'We were at The Prodigy concert last year and were just speaking to someone and they thought I was her friend. I was like, "oh no I'm her mum!"
'It's quite flattering, I'm quite happy for people to think I'm younger than I am. None of us want to get any older do we?
'When I went to The Prodigy, it was at Warehouse Project and they asked me for my ID, which I was more than happy to provide. It has given me a bit of an ego-boost.'
Youthful Lynsey does not follow an extensive beauty or workout routine but, outside of her job as a support worker, she works as a sound healing practitioner and claimed this helps her stress levels.
After they saw Oasis on their reunion tour, Lynsey posted photos of them together at the concert on Facebook.
Those in the comments were in disbelief that the duo were mother and daughter, saying the pair looked like sisters and describing Lynsey as 'supersonic'.
She mentioned that a few overly eager men have attempted to contact her privately via direct messages on Facebook.
Lynsey said: 'The amount of friend requests I've had from random men is unbelievable.
'[The Oasis reunion] was a big thing for us because we'd spoken about it since she was little and I promised her when she was 11 if they ever got back together we would go.
'I put it [the picture of us both] up because I was buzzing about being at the concert.
'I wasn't expecting so many comments. I was surprised at how many people made the comparison to be honest. It's nice for people to think I'm younger than I am.'
Teenager Melody was not surprised by the comments on the post and said she gets flack about her young mother from lads her age.
Melody, who works as a waitress, said: 'We get it a lot so it's something I'm used to. I find it quite funny sometimes.
'We've had it since I was younger anyway. Through all of my teenage years we've been compared as sisters.

‘Bad news' as Diddly Squat Farm suffers TB outbreak

Jeremy Clarkson has announced a "devastating" outbreak of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) at his Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire. The disease, which necessitates the culling of infected cattle, has affected his herd, with one pregnant cow and inconclusive tests for his bull, Endgame. Bovine TB is a major challenge for the farming industry, leading to thousands of cattle deaths annually and sparking ongoing debate over the effectiveness of badger culling. This bTB outbreak is the latest in a series of setbacks for Diddly Squat, following climate-driven disasters and a poor harvest in 2025. Clarkson's popular Prime Video series, Clarkson's Farm, documents his farming journey and the challenges faced, with a potential fifth season expected in May 2026.

Steven Knight: Birmingham City show ‘would've been a tragedy' before US takeover

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has said his new series which follows Birmingham City, the football team he supports, 'would've been a tragedy' if it had been made before the club's US takeover. Prime Video's Built In Birmingham: Brady And The Blues, which Knight is executive producer on, will follow the football club as they are taken over by former NFL quarterback Tom Brady and US businessman Tom Wagner. Advertisement Knight told the PA news agency: 'For most of my supporting Blues career, there's been not a lot to make a film about to be honest. The series will follow Tom Wagner and Tom Brady's takeover of the football club. Photo: Nick Potts/PA. 'It would have been a tragedy or a comedy, or both, previous to this, and then when this thing happened, which most Blues fans still can't quite believe, that we're taken over by proper people with real money, and with ambition, then suddenly there was a story there. 'It's the story that Tom Brady, who would win, and win, and win, takes over a team that loses and draws, and (has) just a completely different culture and ethic. 'It was worth everything just to be there when Tom Brady and Tom Wagner entered a pub called The Roost, which is quite a rough Blues supporters' pub, just before a match and to see the two things come together in a really happy way.' Advertisement The series' first episode shows Brady and Wagner sacking then-manager John Eustace with the club in the Championship play-off places, replacing him with Wayne Rooney, who takes the team into the relegation zone, leading to some tense moments between the former Manchester United striker and Brady. Later in the episode, Rooney is sacked after the seven-time Super Bowl winner questions his work ethic, and the club's relegation to League One, the third tier of English football, is shown. Speaking about the show's tense moments, Knight said: 'Who wouldn't need to learn stuff? They're new to the country, new city. '(There's) fantastic moments in terms of entertainment, but I think Tom Brady would question anybody's work ethic. Advertisement 'It is so phenomenal, he just cannot bear to lose, it's just not an option, and so anyone who isn't doing absolutely everything they can, every hour of the day, to make success happen, is not pulling their weight. So, I did feel a bit for Wayne.' Despite his new series and the success of Disney+'s Welcome To Wrexham, which details the rise of the Welsh football club under celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Knight believes the 'scepticism' towards US owners in English football will remain. He added: 'This is football, no-one from another football team is going to go, 'oh, really well done, that's fantastic, really pleased', that isn't ever going to happen. 'We don't expect it to happen and I think the more shrill the backlash, the more proof there is that we're doing something right, because it's worthy of attention. Advertisement 'These are proper business people with real money who want to do this, have said what they're going to do, and they're doing it. 'I think we won't ever win the hearts and minds of other football teams' supporters when they've got their shirts on. 'But I think a documentary can, at least, when someone's at home with the family and they're back to being a normal human being and not a football supporter, they can see the story and understand, and probably reflect that we're all the same. 'We all want the same thing for our club. We're all unreasonable about our club. We all want us to win the Champions League. Otherwise, what's the point?' Advertisement When asked about the upcoming Peaky Blinders film, which is due to be released on Netflix, Knight said he could confirm it would be released 'soon'. He said: 'I can tell you it's fantastic, and that's not just my opinion, but that's also the Netflix opinion, it's really good. I mean, it's brilliant, and we're really proud of it, and it's tested really, really well, and we can't wait for people to see it.' The original BBC series follows Tommy Shelby and his Birmingham gang of the series' name, and has covered topics such as the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics and communist activities through the period following the First World War. The Built In Birmingham: Brady And The Blues series will launch worldwide on Prime Video on Friday.
