Now this is the scary bit. This list does the rounds - saw it another forum last week - addressed to the over 50s - so what does that say then?

 

[ADY1983]

Even more scary, most of that applys to me... I'm only 23

It's nice to see how it's "evolved" over the years

So what do we each identify with then:

1. (worst still you don't go to the clubs) sadly mainly true - only coz I bump into darling daughter's m8s

4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.It's the only reason you buy a local paper isn't it?

5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46. I'm not even going there!!

6. Before going out anywhere, you ask whether there is anywhere to
park. Depends if I'm taking the car or not

7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them
because they'll be alright for the DIY or in the garden. no - they'll do for walking the dogs

8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them. You mean you still buy t-shirts

9. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of
the newspaper, That would assume one buys a newspaper

10. You start to worry about your parents' health. naturally

11. You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need
to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid. I don't have more disposable income as I've usually already disposed of it

12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disneyvideo or a Wallace
And Gromit bubble bath,as the sales assistant assumes they are for your children. As long as it's not grand-children

13. Pop music all starts to sound the same. nope - Radio 2 sounds all the same

14. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they do a really
nice half-bottle of house red. eer - no - why would you do either

15. You always have enough milk in the fridge. I wish

16. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents. The day my parents ever went clubbing or to bars etc is the day that never happened

18. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear. Hope so or I'm in the wrong job! Actually - I am in the wrong job

19. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q. nope - don't have a B & Q

20. You wish you had a shed. see 21

21. You have a shed. where else would the drinks fridge go?

22. You actually find yourself saying 'They don't make 'em like that anymore' and 'I remember when there were only 4 TV channels' and 'Not in my day....' I remember when there were only three

23. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jeremy Vine has some really interesting guests on. maybe - but I'd have to listen to it to find out - not gonna happen - and who's Jeremy Vine

24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, You tut at rowdy school children. don't do busses - it's what taxi's were invented for

25. When sitting outside a pub you admire their hanging baskets. But I don't usually try and take them home
