Your 20 year old niece, when asked ‘you know who Michael J Fox is right? Response ‘who?’ My response ‘Back to the future films?’ Never heard of him Auntie and they are very old films’! Gulp.

When Grease was realesed 40 years ago and I was in the line to see it first time round

When computer studies was an after school club

When the best toy was a piece of coloured chalk for marking out the hopscotch grid on the floor

When you built dens in the woods with othe kids in the street

When pocket money was 10p a week off my grandad and 50p for a birthday

When my neighbour was the only man in the street with a car

I bet she's heard of Elvis, Bruce Lee and The Beetles though.... probably even Frank Sinatra, Julius Ceasar, and Beethoven.

I would let it make me feel old, just makes her lacking in cultural education. Force her to watch every film that you've ever seen

That reminds me of when the captain of our Rugby team told me that my game was improving and that the winger for the first XV was getting on a bit in age, and if I kept it up, I could challenge his place.....

I then pointed out that I was six years older than the winger for the first XV....

When you see pictures or film from the mid 90’s and they have cars in that at the time you thought looked really nice but actually look like they should be in the 70’s or 80’s, films too I think ‘they aren’t that old’ but they are 20 plus years old now and they look it!!

When your eldest turns 17 and you think ‘I’m going to own an adult this time next year’ a fucking adult, I remember my 17 and 18 birthdays rather well and they don’t seem that long ago!

Ok I'm only 28 but the realisation that we will now have 18 year olds born in 2000 is kinda scary.

In the office I work in we have several young staff, several of which havent seen top gun, the rocky horror picture show, dirty dancing, grease among other classic films. Trying to explain rocky horror and the look on some of their faces was priceless!

There was a period only for a short time mind, that when out on the road or motorway I could recognise and name most vehicles on the road in the early to mid 1970,s If anyone can do the same now they deserve a medal they seem to bring out a new kind every month now days..

I was surprised at renewing my passport last year that I didn’t need my new photograph verified. When I asked why she said it was because i was still recognisable from the one ten years ago..... happy as Larry I skipped out of the post office and sure enough a few days later my passport arrived.

Now on retrospection was it that I looked older than my years ten years ago or was it that I’ve not aged in 10 years?? I’m a little insecure

I remember when Channel 5 was launched properly (1997) and someone had to come round to my parents' house to do something to the TV so that we could receive the channel signal. Great excitement!

Unless the caught you with your hand in the cookie jar they didn't. A lot more crimes went unsolved and people were wrongfully convicted I think. Finger prints, cctv, DNA testing have helped lots. I can't imagine you would have more than an eye witness before.

My modern young colleagues who cannot fathom how I survived my first job on £5 per week?

I saw an Austin 1300 the other day - the Black & White version, which was all the rage back in 1969!

I could get into a London Night Club in 1975 with my first 2 drinks included for £2.

I recall the first "Mobile" phones were the size of a house brick with a pull out aerial about a foot long.

Supermarkets in the 1960's & early 70's closed at 5.30pm on a Saturday & reopened at 9am Monday!

Nowadays, I get offered seats on buses.

Ten days ago, I was admitted to A&E but my condition was deemed so acute, I was taken in for treatment within 30 minutes!

As I was wheeled in, I heard a teenage Couple complain how it was I was getting in ahead of them when they'd been there first??

As a nurse explained the how's & why's, the female was heard to say, "I'm not surprised, he's f****** Ancient!"

I suddenly felt very old!
