How do we know we're getting old ?

[Mark1]

I was born in the early 70s and i remember the test card, our first colour tv was a rental and it had a 50p meter on the back. That was the original pay per view!

Reading all of this and agreeing with all of it.

The first telly i can remember us having was a black and white jobbie ron

My parents stunned me by buying a vide recorder, without any pestering from me. Top-loader with a remote control on a huge wire. Not so much fly-by-wire, more like pause-by-wire, whilst some actually had to leave their seat to answer the telephone.

My earliest memory is of our front room being crammed with people who'd come to watch Churchill's funeral on our TV, which was the first in the street. I think it had an 8 inch screen, and was so dim the curtains had to be closed. It packed up soon after, and was replaced with a 12 inch screen just in time for Queen Elizabeth's coronation.

Hangovers used to take an hour to get over, now they take the whole of the weekend

Don’t know about you Ian, but I used to rock and roll all night, and party every day…..then it became every other day…..until these days I’m lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky….
