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 you do most of your socialising at funerals.

I was watching a Liverpool match and the commentators kept going on about how well Robertson was doing ‘at his age’ so I googled and he’s 33 🤯

See also Schmeichel, Peter and Caspar. I didn’t realise Peter had a son who is also a professional footballer and wondered how someone who was playing in the 90s could still be playing for his national team 25 years later 😳 Luckily I thought about it for 2 seconds before saying anything in front of a pub full of people!

When DC 6 (14) came down yesterday to see me watching a film I hadnt seen in donkeys years and her exact words "Mummy, what the fuck is going on in that film?!" (yes I allow swearing)

I had to explain the concept of the Carry On films. Led to quite an interesting discussion about how some things in old films are not ok by todays standards but that they shouldnt simply be "cancelled" because of it. She agreed that it was interesting to watch something like that as it showed how much she took for granted and how it wasnt always like that. Then we watched a couple of Ealing comedies. She wasnt fussed by Lavender Hill Mob (my favourite) but really loved Passport to Pimlico!

When the new starters at work are born the same year you went to school / did alevels / went to uni….now that’s an slap in the face moment

When you hear a line in a radio comedy from the early 2000's "Ipods are just Walkmans for people who like getting mugged" and laugh like a drain, but then have to explain to a 14 year old what both of the above are!

(from Rudy's Rare Records with Lenny Henry, very funny I highly recommend it!)

When your line manager is younger than your eldest child.....that one is a fucking killer.

Or younger than your youngest child..

The true test on whether someone is old or not is fall over if people laugh you're still young if people panic you're old

“Just the one, Mrs Wembley?” 😳🤣😱

When you realise that you are one of the oldest people in the office. I'm 58 and there are only 4 or 5 older than me. Average age is 20 / 30. Used to love a good work night out, not so much these days jeez.

When you become invisible. Shortly after younger people just interrupt you mid sentence and talk about something else.

@Mumofsoontobe3 it looks so sparkly!!! 🎊🤣

@JustAboutMuddlingThrough 🤣🤣🤣🤣my mum would have said you'll get a chill in your kidneys!! 🤣🤣

Your back hurts for no reason

When I said to my grandson 'Your grandpa made a record' and he answered 'What's a record?'.

When there’s tv programs marking Live Aid’s 40th anniversary! I remember clearly the excitement of the day.

Thanks for this, I remember you could change Clippy to a cat which would put paw prints on the screen and purr...I miss that!

<rocks gibbering in the corner>

I hurt my back this morning just getting out of bed!
(Even though I do pilates regularly apparently my spine is unimpressed).

Or when you're asked "did you have a fall", rather than "did you fall down".
Apparently once you get past 58 you are not capable of "falling down" but "having a fall" is perfectly doable.

I pulled something yesterday trying to scratch my arm

And no I have no idea how I managed it!

The random bruises

When you understand the quoted line "just the one Mrs Wembley?" 🤣

🤣 🤣 🤣

Sadly (or not?) DH and I use that phrase quite regularly!

So I get the pencil and cassette (good times...)

But what the hell is the peg in the car ashtray???

A young chap in my team at work asked me what Wimbledon was today...

When the pharmacist calls me madam.

When boys in their twenties step aside for me and call me love 🤣

When I had to buy a thing for pulling my sock on because I've got arthritis in my hip 🙄
