You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

Buying a new mop is the highlight of your day.

You don't get ID'd for alcohol anymore. Not even in those Challenge 35 areas.

You go upstairs and have no idea what you came up for 😳

The first thing you notice is spelling 🤪

Policemen look like teenagers.

You can't wait to get home to make "a nice cup of tea".

When your nephew asks you what music you are paying and when you tell them they respond with "The Stone Roses.....who are they?"

You are blatantly open and honest and no longer fear offending fragile little flowers

Oh Lord, yes to this.

If you go round a national trust type property, you recognise stuff in the kitchen you had in yours as a child (we lived with my granny so she had older stuff tbf)

I'm buying "sensible" slip on shoes rather than heels.

I wear big knickers not small lacy ones

I have a subscription to Gardener's World on repeat.

I love Ken Bruce on Radio 2

You can clean your teeth and whistle at the same time.

You greet someone with 'Hi-de-hi' - and they reply back 'hello'

You spend ages on Amazon comparing ironing board covers.

the lead singer of the band that was cool when you were young has to cancel the European leg of their tour because he put his knee out jumping around on stage - looking at you, Zach De La Rocha.

You visit a museum and some things from your childhood are part of a display 😖

The last few (about six) years for my birthday I asked for bags of compost, it's more useful and will never be stuffed in a drawer or put in charity shop as not liked/doesn't fit or of no use.

You remember the great drought of 1976 (I was taking my O levels then!)

You want to correct spelling and grammar on public forums. Or fora.

When you realise that you are so old that when you did your original university course the internet didn't exist, mobile phones weren't a thing and you were seen as super fancy by your classmates as you had a typewriter that allowed you to show one digital line of text before it printed to the page.

(I'm about to start a new uni course for work after not being in a formal study situation since the above mentioned course and I am bricking it!)

Being told that being in a WhatsApp group isn’t cool.

Apparently it’s SnapChat. Which I thought died a death years ago but.

You seem to be the only one in the universe who can spell 'you're"

You get excited for managing to get a Christmas eve Tesco slot

I have to find my slippers when I take my shoes off or my day is ruined
A nice cup of tea and sit down after I've been out anywhere
My own bed , beds on holiday are not the same
Comfy clothes

Go into a department store and head for the 'home' section.

You don't know any songs that are playing on radio one
