I've been waiting 40 years for my apex, and there's still no sign of it

You work with someone who, as a baby, lived in the houses built on the field behind your grandparents house where you used to play as a child.
Also some of those you work with were born after the millenuim bug ceased to be a worry.

You have to renew your driving licence at 70.

Yes you do if you want to carry on driving. My old one expired when I reached 70.

That was my point you don’t have to carry on driving.

Fair point but, in my case, not being able to drive would be like chopping my legs off. I still enjoy driving

During My working life. Well I Drove the area that encompassed nearly all of Wales Cornwall, right across to southampton including all the counties in between and frankly I'd rather cycle now I do actually see things that were there before but I didn't have time.
And Since this pandermonion ? of a pandemic, have been in the car once And made it a definite promise to myself that I wouldn't go back to where I was born as Looking on google earth just makes me cringe at the amount of houses that been thrown up and the areas supposed to be Green belt Don't see how as the M5 M6 Interchange is slap in the middle of it I was all boggy fields And some farmland Cows used to come to our back fence and now I know I'm old as Its just so different

Have any of you started using a feeding cup yet?
Reminds me of an episode of Goodnight Sweetheart,where Gary takes Pheobe to see an Aunt in the countryside.Thing is he has a map of modern day England and he is back in 1940.he mentions motorways and other modern things which Pheobe has no idea of.

Heck postie,me and the former Mrs Accy used to watch that program religiously,when it came out in the early 1990's. I saw an episode on some 'retro' tv channel a year or so ago. It might've been 'modern day England' then,but the early 1990's seems so long ago now.🧐

I can't see out of my right eye,so when looking in the mirror i miss seeing those freaky hairs on my right side. I take 'selfies' now then scrutinise them trying to spot those inch long hairs that sprout in peculiar places. The other day i saw one on a selfie growing out my right upper cheek!
