    Went "sprinting" up the driveway earlier... All my inside bits jiggled. That used not happen in my 30s!

    When you start buying your graveyard plot and pick out coffin.

    My uncle and aunt in law went one further by erecting their headstone and having 'In living memory' engraved on it years and years before they actually died.

    To thine own self be true

    I had to double check that. I assumed you meant son. Jesus. Ian could be a great grandfather before he's 60 at this rate.

    when you buy clothes that are comfortable and cheap,no point in trying to keep up with fashion, it changes every year. you use coupons or buy special offers 2 for one,every time you go to the supermarket.

    when the pubs were open ,you thought the music was too loud.you have a drawer full of old chargers ,old phones,old pc cables ,you will never use again.you buy christmas presents months in advance. you have friends that are divorced and on their second marriage.

    a few weeks back i had to pop to the local shop (a few hundred metres away) and decided to put the bin out on the way.

    halfway to the shops, i realised i still had the bin with me.

    You know you're getting old when you still ask for sort code and bank account number when it should be BIC/SWIFT and IBAN 😀

    I'm not really old as of yet as i'm only going on 35 in a few months. But younger people saying "Yupp, Yupp" and listening to that London type rap.

    I had that written on my post originally and deleted it before posting. Yes they most likely would think that.

    I notice the same when I see a famous actor from my youth for the first time in years and they look old too.
