"10 year old: "What's a fax machine?"

30 year old: "what's a telex machine?"

Having to start again when you made a mistake.

I get laughed at when I tell young people I started out on a Wang word-processor.

"

Me too! Had to save everything on to 5 1/2" floppy disks. Now there's something to compare cocks with.

My driving licence is older than some of my colleagues.

I tell them when I first started working people smoked at their desks, there was no email, orange internal envelopes held memos not birthday cards to be signed and there was no internet!

Your kids hold YOUR hand to cross the road.

When, before leaving the house they ask you if you'd been to the toilet.

When in the car, they're in the driving seat, you're in the back and they turn around and ask if you have your seat belt on.

Instead of helping them dress Tiny Tears you're dressing their real life baby.

"Can remember a few years ago having to explain to a younger colleague what a vinyl record was....

....but mercifully they've now made a comeback so I'm young again!! "

Good to hear vinyl records making a good comeback (they never really went away).

Have to get myself a new turntable anyway.

Still buy vinyl, hope it never goes away.

You see Coldplay on TV singing Don't Look Back in Anger and they have to put the words on a screen behind them because the audience have never heard it before.

Probably. I didn't think the words would be necessary though. One of those songs I thought everyone knew.

You know when you're old when you visit a museum and find yourself looking at an exhibit and saying "I remember seeing that on tomorrow's world and it was set to revolutionise our lives"..

The usual response is "what's tomorrow's world?"

I personally don't know it, but thats because I never really listened to them as they weren't my cup of tea. I'll stick to Ray Charles, Tina Turner, and Jackie Wilso
