Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

keep 'em peeled

I can't get my head round the fact that we're a quarter the way through the 21st century, the Millennium was only last week!

This made me laugh at the memory. Eric Morecambe’s deadpan delivery was a joy to behold !!

Even my kids know what that is, he’s still about hiding on YouTube 🤣

Sorry, but it’s don’t cross the streams….😬

’You’re all doing very well!’

I recall cringing just before I retired from the chalkface, a newly qualified teacher started who could just about have been my grandchild had we got going straight away and they'd done the same.

I tried that once.

My dd looked at me, puzzled, and said, 'What's a record?'

Times change though - my ds has his own vinyl collection now.

"our survey said.....eeeeet urrrrrrr"

❌

My husband and shout ‘Neil, the bathroom’s fweee… Unlike the country under the Thatcherite junta!’

When I was learning DS to drive if he got a bit exuberant I’d say “slow down Stirling Moss”

'Who do you think you are, bloody Nigel Mansell?'

dont forget Junior Choice with Ed Stewart on Saturday morning

Oh yes, didn't he have Morningtown Ride as his theme song?

I had to explain to my 24 year old DD the other day why the ladies in her office where mentioning a “Diet Coke break” when an engineer come out to the office. I received a text with the question “mum have you ever used the term Diet Coke break and what does it mean ?” 🤣 I giggled for a minute then felt extremely old!

Just think in decades to come our not so young daughters will be shaking their heads and smiling to themselves after saying to their kids after a little tiff "let it goooooo....let it gooooo" and said child will be looking up at them dumbfounded 😃

You could rent just about everything, we rented a fridge and washer as well as a TV, of course OH had to sign the paperwork, I wasn't allowed any credit without his consent!
The wait for a phone being installed also amazes people, usually about 8 weeks!

@FrangipaniBlue on my first driving lesson I was getting a bit excitable and the instructor said “who do you think you are, Stirling Moss?”

Making good use of the things that we find
The junk that the every day folk leave behind!

Not forgetting Mrs Slocombe’s pussy !!

Lol! Don’t you know? Us Evertonians don’t choose….we’re chosen.

Although being honest, after some of the utter shite we’ve had to suffer through watching on the pitch the last couple of years, the nerve shredding relegation battles, plus the nonsense with PSR, points deductions, changes of owner etc, I have found myself wondering what my life would have been like if I hadn’t been!! 🤣 At a minimum, I’m convinced I’d have a fair fewer grey hairs!!

It was sad to say goodbye to Goodison but the move was essential if we’ve any aspirations of being more competitive in the future. And whilst I am admittedly biased, the new place really is amazing….and bloody massive!

Best of luck to your club for the season ahead…..unless of course, it’s Liverpool! 😉(just kidding)

My mum recently likened someone to the Gold Blend couple. DN was in the room too and gave us both a blank look, so for some reason I kept digging and described the ads "with Anthony Head from Buffy in". Another pause and then "who?". I gave up at that point 🤦.

We don't do duvets!

Don't forget to tell Sid.

Planet Zanussi.

Tefal slapphead boffins.

Florida's even horrider than Whitley Bay, no MacEwans Best Scotch in the USA!

Canny bag o Tudor.

(No idea about pivot, or two soups..)

When our dc were babies and quite fussy eaters we would often say ‘I’ll have the blandest thing on the menu.’

Uther Pendragon in Merlin. Gorgeous!

Dd asked me what Pagan meant earlier today and I replied 'People Against Goodness and Normality'. I was well chuffed with myself 👮‍♂️

Who among us can hear Grieg's Piano Concerto without thinking of Andrew Preview?
