Now I Know I'm Old

[barry1010]

I've known it for a while, I am not deluded, but now I 'know' know.

I am doing that thing my dad did when he was old - 'how much?'.

I've lost perspective with the value of money. I know how much everything is but I still think a fiver is a lot of money for a magazine, a soft drink, to park the car.

If you're the wrong side of middle age, what attitude made you realise you're old?

 

[bednobs]

It's not the attitude so much it's the body for me!

Also my 12-year-old told me the £20 a month pocket money She gets was way under average

Going by the huge number of replies, you must be the only old person on here! x

[barry1010]

Older folk aren't lightning fast, two replies in 5 minutes is good going!

😁

To answer your Q, tho I'll let you know if/when I get there ;(

[barry1010]

bednobs, you're young at heart.

Now I've got a  Dixie's earworm

[albaqwerty]

I'm practising, honest! 

Barry, hadn't thought of that...

[barry1010]

Lanolin or lard?

Just you wait...it will sneak up on you alba!

When I say to young people 'Gosh, you've grown up since I last saw you' I cringe because that's what "old" people used to say to me. 
I agree £5 is too much for a magazine or soft drink. 
My dad says 'How much?!' Every time I tell him what my new shoes or bag cost. I knock off £20 but he's still the same

[barry1010]

£20 pocket money! When I were a lad ....

11.51 Shush, I do it just before retiring to bed. I've not told anyone, not even my mum.

The Radio Times is a fiver. Good thing I get a good deal with the subscription 

[pastafreak]

It's like that between my daughter and myself clover. I need to shut my mouth when she tells me what she paid for shoes or coats ...though she does buy excellent quality. But still...🫣😲

[mallyh]

[Smowball]

Omg Mallyh , that made me laugh out loud!

When you say 'I remember when......' at the start of a sentence. Exhaling when you sit down or stand up from a low chair . 😤

Ear and nose trimmer is an every other day event, it used to be only every six months?
