My favourite record is 34 years old.

Many peoples favourite records are Beatles tracks, and they were most active in around 1965.

1965 + 34 years is 1999. If I think back to 1999 and were able to ask myself what I though about someone whose favourite record was still the Beatles, I'd have scoffed mightily....

Things that make me realise the changes in my lifetime are .....

Watching cows being led through cities to be milked.

Watching the coal man hump coals sacks

Keeping coal in the house

No houses with water boilers just a back boiler that needed a fire

Mangles

Single tub washing machines

Thrashing the salt fish with a hammer

Eating dandelion leaves

Swimming in the canal

No shops open on Sundays

Shops closed half day Wednesdays

Buying meat from the butcher, veg and fruit from the greengrocers, light bulbs and candles from the costermonger, ice cream men on bikes with dry ice boxes, bread from the bakery and fish from the fishmonger.

No such thing as t.v. ....... later no such thing as daytime t.v. ....... no all night t.v. ........ no telly on Sunday mornings......

No phones AT ALL of any kind in peoples home.

One flavour only of crisps.

No places to eat out ...... no one did that.

All listening to the radio .....

No social media ...... you had to talk to real people and be confident in front of people.... you HAD to have a personality and not an online persona where you could pretend to be sexy and sassy...

Have to WALK everywhere and thinking nothing of it ...

Being lucky if we could afford a chicken for sunday .... they weren't cheap back then .....

Salad was for summer, couldn't grow it in the winter

Wearing winter clothes between sept and may......

Having eiderdowns not duvets...

Fuck it .... that's enough

Frankly, I value my age, chronologically speaking, because in the past 20+ years I have learned so much through a process of self-education; just a few years ago I went on a training course at a call centre (about 20 people).

The trainers ran several online quizzes and I beat the entire group, by a long chalk, every time.

Age, viewed positively, is to be valued, as it is in many cultures worldwide, but not in the western industry-oriented milieu.

I remember old ladies stopping me in the street when I used to live in Carlisle. -These are some of the earliest memories of mine from the 1970s, when I was about 4 years old and would be walking around with my mum or dad.

They would stop and say to how cute I was, or comments to that effect. Which is quite endearing.

When I think about it though, some of these ladies were around 70 & 80 years old, that means that they would have been born in the 1800s.

My four grandparents were all born during the reign of Queen Victoria who died over 120 (one hundred and twenty) years ago; if conscription had existed in Ireland at the start of the First World War (1914-1918) my two grandfathers would have been amongst the oldest to have been called up to be wastefully slaughtered, in a futile conflict between two sets of warring European royal cousins, one set of whom were obliged to change their surname to Windsor from Sax Coburg Gotha.

"Getting my state pension end of December "

Thankfully, I got mine in May; it made a colossal difference to my life, when compared to being on Universal Credit of £63 pw and being unable to work for two years through injury, and during Covid.

Winter Fuel Allowance of £500 sorted out a lot of issues; Rishi's £600 Jan'y energy payment will be put to good use; the pension triple lock of 10•1% is good too, but prices are increasing at a phenomenal rate, especially food.

When I compare food prices to when I was a child in the 60s, they are shocking and astonishingly high.

If Marty Mcfly traveled back in time the same amount as he did in 1985 today, he would travel back to 1992.

I grew up with my parents music. Beatles. Hollies. Motown. And I grew to like them because that’s what they played.

My boys listen to Guns n roses. James. Oasis. Blur. Shed seven. Ocean colour scene and I think ‘lucky bastards.

Just imagine the music their children will have to endure in the future?!

Honestly I have a pretty open minded attitude towards music and in fact my family complain about the music I like grew up listening to electro.

I enjoy EDM and similar stuff.

But seriously the urban music out today is just a series of random words with "man" at the end of every sentence.

Yes I sound old but fucking hell it's awful.

Oh man the same. (I play Dolly Parton and Gilbert O’Sullivan in between Eminem and the Offspring so you can imagine my playlists. )

My views on todays music is that they are all following each other trying to use the same formula. Nobody is breaking the mould. Your right. They all sound the same!!!
