You know you're getting old when you start out-living buildings :eek:

You know you are getting old when not only do you remember your school being built, and later you remember it being demolished to make way for new (ha) houses, but the local education authority doesn't know what you mean when you ask about pictures of the place.

You should have done what I did - I took a photo of my old school before they tore it down. I must have been the cleverest in that school as I have the only photo in existence of the place!

Yon know when you're old when you take pictures of things that you know will be torn down soon and want to preserve them in some way coz you remember all the other things that were torn down in your lifetime that you didn't take fotos of;)

You only feel old when you admit it to yourself. Think young and cop on. Fook them all when you are still standing on your feet.

You know that self-service till in Tesco.

When you buy Booze, you need a Supervisor, to insert a secret code,

They have three options,

1. ID checked

2. It's obvious he's over 21

3. It's VERY obvious he's over 21

Mine keeps picking option 3 .

You know you are old when you go looking for clothes on some auction sites only to find what you are looking for is in the vintage section, not only that but you are still wearing some of the stuff!
