I can answer this thread honestly - today is the 75th anniversary of my entry to an unsuspecting (and undeserving) world :sad:

Many Happy Returns Steve, it wasn't on the list so I wouldn't have known .

Happy Birthday Steve.
Back to the thread, you know you're old "when the mind makes a contract that the body can't fulfil, you're over the hill brother, you're over the hill".

You know you are getting old when it takes all night to do what you used to do all night

Alf was a scrap dealer………public baths would have been a bit posh for him, he probably used a roadside horse trough on the way home

I remember one set of stories where he was dismantling a steel channel fort for scrap…..for some reason Wilson (of the Wizzard) was also in the stories? It may well have been from around 1970 when they merged the wizzard and the Victor….loved the Wizzard, used to look out old copies at jumble sales as well. It was just written stories, not illustrated.

Was that The Incredible Wilson Tim?
