Signs (more for guys) that you are approaching the big 100:
* You call the radio the "wireless"
* You call jeans "dungarees"
* You call guys "old boy"
* You worry about picking up any dropped coin of denomination less than 50p
* You still wear ties and a jacket outside work
* You still have to wear ties _in_ work (?)
* It takes ten minutes each morning to take all your daily pills
* You smoke a pipe
* You know the words to any popular song written before 1960
* You say "dash it all" instead of "Feck it!" (I know a local old timer who still says "dash it", but he must be one of the last ;-)
* You don't use or own a PC (but pester friends to print things and look them up, like one of my elderly neighbours! )
* You say "I'm off to Bedfordshire" each night without fail when you're going to bed
* You remember old money (LSD - librae, solidi, and denarii, thrupenny bits, farthings, etc)
* You remember rationing
* You remember the Blitz
Um, any others ?Last edited by OwlHoot; 30 April 2021, 15:04.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Bit like those stupid survey questions you used to get in the paper.
Friend of the family once took one supposed to predict how long you could expect to live from lifestyle questions health etc. It reckoned she should have died 5 years ago.
Basically aload of B#####ks
When I used to skydive back in the late 90's, country file weather was always watched by all at the parachute centre as best prediction of the weather for the week.
And sneakers is an americanism.Comment

BBC 6Music for me, it's where all the cool kids hang out.
And Mary Anne Hobbs has a voice like silk.
They played Queen by Perfume Genius the other day, they get my vote.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
