There are dozens and dozens of signs I can think of.


1.) You make the 'old bloke' groan when getting out of an easy chair.

2.) More hair growing from your ears than on the top of your head.

3.) Eeer, now what did I come in here for, ooh it's on the tip of my tongue,honestly

I'd forget me own head if it wasn't screwed on....oh it's so bloody annoying....

I remember as a kid sitting in about 2 inches of luke warm water and picking the ice off the inside of the window panes until I turned blue, cos we lived in a massive draughty old house which still had coal fires, and my mum was too broke to light more than one fire!

Goodness yes - those Sunday night baths at the 'wrong' end of the house with maybe (if you were lucky) one of those little one bar fires on the wall (a later addition). Hair washed in the bath at the same time and rinsed off with a mug!


Eeee - these youngsters don't know they're born!

... when you go down the stairs into that little antique shop beneath some cafe on Lordship Lane, the shop that has ancient greetings cards and tins and old Oxo tins and placemats and godknows what like biscuit tins and old cruet sets and tea sets and you suddenly see something that you have had no reason to see or think about since you last saw it thirty odd years ago or more.... and it's in front of you and you realise you are old enough to have had parents who bought that tea-set / plastic place mat / glass ware design / when you were little.

    • CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too 
    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think
