    ... when you really have had more "senior moments" than you can remember.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    You go to look at a replacement car (not even brand new) & realise that none of them have a manual choke anymore.....:D

    When you see a "guide to stairlifts" in the paper and stop to read it.

    When your OH likes the look of your coat and wants to buy one like it

    When you have a hat/set of cushions in the back window of your car

    When renewing insurance or similar and you have to scroll for ages to find your year of birth

    When you buy clothing and think if its easy to iron and will wash well

    When you buy shoes for comfort rather than style

    You think of buying a bungalow

    When you get approached in shopping centres by young guys trying to sell you funeral plans...pay now, die later kind of thing.

    Its when you don't get approached that makes me sad, doesn't matter what they are selling, if they deliberately avoid me I feel really old!

    I'm quite happy not to be approached by market researchers etc. I just wish the funeral plan people wouldn't see me as a potential customer when I come into their line of vision!
