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.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
