What are you ‘I’m old’ references that younger folk might not understand ?
I’ll start: ‘too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog’

Anyone else remember this one? Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?

The red car and the blue car had a race
All red wants to do is stuff his face
He eats everything he sees
From trucks to prickly trees
But smart old blue he took the milky way

this is going to be stuck as my earworm again for years 😯😆

'Texan. Sure is a mighty chew'

I was trying to describe the game at the end of (I think it was) Crackerjack- where they had to hold all the prizes, and there was always a cabbage? to ds2 the other day. He asked me if that was an 'old timey' thing...

Milk tray!! The man on polo neck stalking some poor woman and breaking in to her house 🤣🤣 he'd be a serial killer now

ET phone home.

Slothsandspiderman · 06/06/2023 17:23

“You noooo be having a sale.” I said this to a Scottish boyfriend and he had no idea. Don’t think Walkers crisps had the nerve to show it there.

Verv · 06/06/2023 17:23

Exactly Melvyn.

JRHartleysmum · 06/06/2023 17:23

What was the game show where schools competed against each other and they all jumped into a pool at the end ‘away you go’ ?

'Chinny reckon' when you don't believe someone.

OnMyWayToSenility · 06/06/2023 17:26

Does anyone else remember calling a story time on the phone? And you had to sit in the cold draughty hallway listening to it?
