You know you're old when🤣........

In my case, singing "Daisy the spider catcher" to the tune of Champion The Wonder Horse 🤣My daughter just looked at me "oh man, here she goes again with her randomness". She did evict the spider though, so all good!

When I see a photo of a celebrity that's around the same age as me looking ancient, and I realise I do too!

You’d rather meet a friend for a catch-up over a cup of tea and a scone than skinful of alcohol

Laughing so much reading these!

My contribution: you're watching the news and a sixth former is being interviewed about some obscure topic, but the caption says 'Professor So and So'.

When you tell your niece you used to use a typewriter and she looks at you like you just stepped out of the ark…

It's like a game of 'spin the wheel' to get to my DOB.
YY to all of these, and the 80s wasn't more than 20 yrs, I refuse to acknowledge any different!
The kid at work hadn't heard of The Karate Kid, as suggested by my username, I educated him with the history and links in Cobra Kai!

I’m late sixties. My mum told me when I was young I looked at her in complete puzzlement when she told me plastic wasn’t a thing when she was little. Couldn’t get my head around that one.😀

😂 you’ve got to be ‘of a certain age’ to even remember that song! My DM used to sing the original version to me 🤦🏻‍♀️

You try and explain washing machines of your youth. My job as a kid was to turn the mangle handle on wash day.

When my daughter described a film set in the 1960s as a period costume drama!

You remember having to queue to use a telephone box!!!

and woe betide you if you had a bent tuppenny!!

Describing to teen/20 something how you regularly dashed to jump on a tube train and then realised too late that you were in a smoking carriage! 😩

This 🤦‍♀️Also seeing someone you haven’t seen for decades and they look so bloody old …hang on they will be thinking the same about me !

I'm probably the same age as you with periods going haywire, but I don't know who clippy is.

One of the prime ministers where I live was younger than me about 6 years ago!
You know you're old when you're older than the PM.

When you walk from cafe to cafe looking for one with comfortable seating. What is it with basic wooden chairs that I can't cope with?

When police officers and drs start looking like children

When you can remember an episode of a radio show from the 1980's but can't find your reading glasses.

ETA - and when you think the new pope is quite hot 😉

I was trying to read the minuscule writing on a medicine bottle the other day to see the dosage. Could not get the writing to focus for the life of me - until I held the bottle quite far away to read it... 🤣

I can't read small print easily either.

When you get set in your ways e.g. I can't leave my home area on a Sunday night.

Yes, when my GD wanted me to go in to her school and talk about the olden days when I was a child in the 60s

A few years ago we stopped in the bus as they needed to change drivers. A woman commented on how young this driver was. He said he was 19!

Seeing adverts for those rise and recline chairs and thinking how comfortable they look

I’m in my 50s and I don’t know who Clippy is either!

When you can’t remember exactly how old you are going to be next birthday. Am I already that age or is that the next one?

When people look blankly at you when you mention having a clothes peg in the ashtray of your car.

Why??????
People of a certain age will know perfectly well 😁

I think clippy is that clip thing on Microsoft word ) office
