All through growing up my mum used to say "when i was a lad....' and we all knew she was joking,so i used to say it to my children too, until one day my son asked "was you really a lad once mum....." It had never really occurred to me in this day and age that you can't really say such stuff anymore can you?!!!!!!!

Anyone had similar experiences....?
