I know I'm getting older when I have to think for 15 minutes before answering to this thread question.
How do we know we're getting old ?

after speaking to a life long friend as I did the other day to realise that his son when you met him was half the age of his youngest grandchild now.
A couple of years ago I helped two policemen that where struggling to restrain a bloke… once the guy was in the back of the car, i noticed One of the officer’s looked about twelve and I couldn’t resist ribbing him, I asked if his mum new he was out that late….too which his mate burst out laughing as this was apparently a regular occurrence for him :smiling5:
What are we on about?
The odd thing is, these new slippers feel like shoes - there's my excuse.
Oh no. I hope it clears soon.
Or even just famous people, you sort of grew up with.
I had to take a wheel off a car on Saturday. I remembered it's not a straight forward procedure because the car is so low, but just couldn't remember the exact process. I've owned the car nine years !
Sometimes I pause, just to check things are still in place.
So very true.
Your round. Cider for me.
Its a bit rubbish getting older isnt it but for people of a certain age ( ie born in the 60s ) this will make you smile and cheer you up no end
Tony, you should worry!
Colour?! Folks born in the 40's/ early 50's had to watch this T.V. test card, and the programs in Black & White!
My mum and Dad had the first colour tele in our street. Boy, did we make new friends quickly!

The first telly i can remember us having was a black and white jobbie ron , like yourself when we got the first colour one it was a source of amazement.
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.
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.

When you go to bed with a back ache, and it's even worse when you get up..
Hangovers used to take an hour to get over, now they take the whole of the weekend
