The realisation you're getting old

Watching Emmerdale might in itself be a sign of getting old

Only if you can remember where you were when Matt Skilbeck (allegedly) killed Harry Mowlem.

I haven't watched it for 20 years which is why I was surprised when I saw a recent photo of Belle. Samson would be an adult by now as well.

I can remember when they changed Matt's wife and he didn't even notice

For me the realisation is when today, whilst out on a cycle path,on my hybrid 700c wheel , i thought i was crackin on in top ring and half way up the rear cassette and was blown away by a young 40 yr old whipper snapper on a mtb with fat tyres

Its when you're on a 29 inch wheel MTB, huffing & puffing up a mild slope on the Bristol Railway Path when someone half your age shoots past on a Brompton....What are they made of?...some magic go-faster alloy??. Nope, I'm an old fart now having turned 60 .

Other things that make you feel old: Telly.

I may have mentioned this before but in the firm I worked for in the 90's, the secretary was a massive Eastenders fan and I casually mentioned one lunch break that it didn't make Wendy Richard famous, that was playing Miss Brahms in Are You Being Served?.

They'd never heard of AYBS..... However, I think no excuse for young 'uns today, 5000 channels repeating everything all the time, plus Google, 'old' is current now.

BTW, guilty pleasure is watching AYBS...yet again. Can't resist that cat gag, plus I once dined with Jeremy Lloyd in a posh London establishment.

While in the retro clothing shop I work in part time the other day, I got out of the armchair I was sat in when a customer and her family came in. As I went to get a clothing item the mother asked about, I noticed her young son had sat in my seat gawping at his phone. He and his mother saw me sat in that chair when they came in the shop, so they knew I'd been sat there. When the mother went to try the item on I looked at this brat who totally ignored me, so I then looked at the dad who was also gawping at his phone oblivious to my annoyance! I was so tempted to ask this brat to move, but this family are friendly with the shop's owner, so I bit my tongue as they say. My dad always made me give up my bus seat or any seat as a child to an adult, admittedly with me begrudgingly doing it, but I did it. Tut! tut! how standards have dropped!! 🧐

I must admit, when i walk into a clothes shop with my family. I tend to instantly fall asleep standing up until my better half instructs me to do something else, like get out of the way or similar.

Falling asleep is ok, just as long as you don't do it in 'my chair'!! 🧐

I always used to look for the TOM chair; I was informed it was called that by a young female shop assistant in Doncaster. TOM stands for tired old man.

I liked it when we had the dog, as I would have to stand outside such establishments with her, rather than going in & being in the way
