    We've been using Euro notes and coins for 11 years :eek: and some people are still going on about them as 'new' (especially in France!)

    I keep getting French receipts with Francs on the end as a helpful reminder for people who can't adapt after more than a decade.

    On Saturday I mentioned He-Man to someone and they'd never heard of him... :o

    My girlfriend's 14 year old brother hadn't heard of Kurt Cobain when I mentioned him the other day :eek:

    On the other hand, mobile phones and the internet have only been popular with the general public about 15 years or so. Seems much longer to me.

    As a rule of thumb, if I can remember it happening it's recent, if I can't it's old. For example, I still think of The Santa Clause as a recent Christmas film (not new, but still recent) and probably always will, whereas I think of Santa Claus (Dudley Moore) as an old Christmas film because I've always known it as an old film, even though it was about 10 years old when I first saw it compared to the more recent one which must now be close to 20 years old.

    i know the feeling i was watching the Simpsons new series where they go back to New York and Marge says "just once I'd love to see your father on a jumbotron for something good" that's when I thought 'but he did in the dancing homer episode' then the sinking realisation set in that the guys writing the episode are probably too young to even remember that episode :(
