    When you desperately need a hip replacement but you keep getting told you're too young!?!??...

    Looking at my to-do list today, and seeing the note to consolidate all the other lists into just the one big one - must remember later on!

  • when you talk to schoolkids about the 70's and they say, 'Yeah we are doing the 70's in history'.

    History, HISTORY! History is dinosaurs and Henry VIII, that's history! The 70's can't be history I still remember it. Ted Heath, 3-day week, winter of discontent. Best thing about a power cut when your 10 is the candles, the worst bit is missing Z Cars.

    I was a punk rocker for goodness sake! Much embraced with vigour by my 14 year old self.

    History indeed!

    When Mark mentions not getting a flyer for the night club and you know just how it feels.

    Brilliant thread Mark.

    ...or when a young woman says 'who won the Second World War then?'

    When you have to consult a 14 yr old about current mobile phones, and which they think you are capable of understanding. 

  • When the builders no longer whistle when you walk by!

    When you keep getting those 'senior moments'

    When you have to ask your teenager to help you with the 'self service' in the supermarket.

    Doesn't apply to me.  Can still run the 100 metres in 30 seconds image

    Not surprising when you get so much practice running away from mischief image

  • When you fall asleep on the sofa in the afternoon    ( I know I probably ate too much of Doves cake image)
