Feeling old as I can relate to lots of things on here ! Bought DH a watch 30+ years ago , some on e bay , now classed as vintage . He still wears it a lot . Remember Elizabeth Estenson , Emmerdale , was in the Liver Birds . I never thought I'd be looking on menus for dishes for smaller appetites or actually feeling pleased that we qualified for the seniors menu in US !0

You don't even have to be 'very' old to be made to feel ancient
I remember one of my young men becoming 21 and being his manager it fell to me to give the speech and present. As I was thinking of what pearls of wisdom I could give him, it dawned on me that he was 3 months old when I started work. Now that made me feel extremely old and that was 20 years ago now0 -

Asked why I didn't want to work full time when the new owner of the company I work for, had a chat with me and I replied "After working full time for 36 years without a break, no children, I feel the need to work part time for a year or two" the response was when I want to move back up to longer hours, we will be happy to redploy you..... yea in your dreams buddy!
