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.
