Some people did look a lot older than their actual age though depending on what they wore or their hair style.

I'm so old that when my family went on long trips through Europe in our Ford Esc0rt estate car, us four kids could lie down and sleep with the back seats down as the car was being driven. Also if we were all sat in the rear of the car there were no such things as seat belts.

(888 honestly, cant even type the name of the car without Fab blocking it!)

I am so old that the teachers used to either cane us or use a plimsol on our bare bottoms.

I am so old that it was not unusual for the teacher to throw the blackboard rubber** at us when they were angry !

** for those to young to know what a black board rubber was, we did not have white boards, we had black boards and chalk, with a piece of wood with some form of felt on one side for wiping down the board to remove the lesson

I'm so old that in my first job we had a typing pool with secretaries** typing up our hand written letters and when they came back to us, we had to identify corrections and they would use tippex to correct them. They also made a second file copy which was created through the use of carbon paper***

** for those to young to know what a secretary was, she was a gobby woman, possibly a spinster, who sat in a room with a vast number of other gobby women and complained when you brought them any work, plus deliberately made mistakes so that you had to bring it back so they could complain again about your poor hand writing.

*** for those of you to young to know what carbon paper is, it consists of sheets of black paper that create one or more copies simultaneously with the creation of an original document and was sold at Wilko****

**** for those of you who do not know what Wilko was, it was a cheap shop selling amongst other things carbon paper, and close down this week.

I'm so old... Well I'm not, or at least I didn't think so until last night. I watched Gremlins with the kids last night. Then I realised the release date was 1984. Then I realised the movie was as old as I am. Then I realised the movie is nearly 40 years old. How the hell is that movie nearly 40 years old? In my head films that are 40 years old are like old black and white Westerns. Then worst of all that made me realise I am very nearly 40 years old

I'm so old no one but richest familys had a car! Phones were seldom in houses in our street! Just the red push button a and b button phone boxes! No central heating! No supermarkets us kids could buy cigs for mum! No washing machine just the old copper that was included in the rent and a ringer with rollers my brothers tried to put my fingers in! And ohh the best milk tray bars of chocolates loved those! All different shapes in one bar! X

"I’m so old I remember wages being paid in cash in a little brown envelope (official not dodgy) lol"

And I remember being shown how to extract pound notes from a wages packet with a hairgrip so as to leave it looking unopened.

I seem to remember our first television was a Bush and had a 9" screen in a large cabinet.

We also had a large magnifying glass on a stand which you placed in front of the screen to give you a more viewable picture.

I'm so old I remember a mangle being attached to the twin tub.

Local area dialling codes were one or 2 digits eg Guildford was 9, London was 01 (I think)

My wardrobe didn't haven't any purple in it.
