Question: You know you're getting old when?

[MikeInWimbledon]

So, the question is: you know you're getting old when....?

What's your answer?

When you're the only one who knows what a Rag n Bone man was

When you are not only the only one at the table who know what a Rag n Bone Man was.....

But also the only one who knows what his call used to be.

BBC Radio 1 - Live Lounge, Rag'n'Bone Man

When you see smaller Airfix kits being sold for several £ and then complain that back in your day they were 1s/6d.

Or that creaking groaning sound that appears from no where when you bend over to pick something up etc..didn't used to be there..

When you make a noise when sitting down or when you go into a record shop and come out with a carrier bag full of cd's that cost a fiver

I realised I was old a few years ago when I found myself looking for my slippers.

A) because I owned slippers and B) I was annoyed because I couldn't find them. Game over..

Cheers,

You as well, eh?

When you make a noise when sitting down or when you go into a record shop and come out with a carrier bag full of cd's that cost a fiver

I recognise the grunt when sitting down...

When you start finding black and aluminium interiors look a bit tacky, and beige and wood starts to look really classy.

When you look into a mirror and think "who is that old git looking at me?"

Ours in North Manchester used to call "Ragbone" but it probably varied in different parts of the country.

I remember the rag and bone man with horse and cart in the late 50's early 60's but they didn't collect bones. It was mostly scrap metal. They used to give out yellow pumice stones for cleaning the step.

No idea who the guy with the tattoos was.

When getting out of the car is no longer done in one fluid movement

Its open the door.... push it all the way open... swing a leg out .... use a combination of steering wheel and door frame to push/pull yourself out ... making an 'omph' noise as you do it

I can remember when the muffin man came down our street, and he used to carry the muffins on a tray on his head.

 

[T5R+]

Listening to him before he became big time.

On topic - who else remembers the "tea man".

When you hear Seal on the radio and realise it was 30 years ago.

When you go to the loo and opened the cupboard door, stop think WTF am I doing in here.

You're more bothered about how comfortable you are rather than how you look and the SE model starts appealing more to you then the "sport" model, because it's got a more comfortable ride.

I have an SE.

When you realise The Sex Pistols first album is closer in time to Rachmaninoff than today.

When you can no longer trust a fart.
