There is a young, attractive girl (well woman) receptionist (probably customer interface delivery supervisor) at an office I visit.
The other day as I savoured the view on entering the premises I was greeted by said young lady. "Ere, my granny says she remembers you when you were younger"
Put me in my place. Also wonder what granny remembers. Hope it's selective and good.

A younger woman tapped me on the shoulder as she was leaving the pub and said, "Come on then." Apparently it's what they do these days.
You know you’re old when the young, attractive women no longer smile back at you

I don't know about that, in my experience, they still smile back, but it is a sort of motherly, taking care of you sort of smile/ would you like assistance crossing the road, smile

I was wandering through a discount shop when I realized that it was in the old Rackham's building. It used to be one of the premier shops in Birmingham.

I was working with a girl, Lucy in a supermarket some years ago, who was enjoyable company as we faced up shelves, until she said your older than my dad! 🤣🤣🤣
I still see her occasionally at the local climbing wall and will have to mention it to her

When I was 10,11,12 to early teens we'd ask anyone we saw struggling with moving, carrying stuff etc if they wanted a lift, hinting at doing it for a small fee, hoping for 10p to 50p at most. Yesterday I saw a couple of young lads walking by as I prepared to struggle carrying bags of shopping and stuff from my car to my flat. I thought I'd try it out, so I asked them if they'd carry my stuff for a couple of quid. It's a 2 minute job, so I thought it was a fair rate of pay. They thought a few seconds then said they'd do it for a tenner!! 
Needless to say I declined and then did three trips to my flat and back to avoid extortion fees!

There's very nice attractive lady moved in next door to me.
Just the other day a spurious letter came to my house.My address but a different name on it, so i put 2 and 2 together and thought it might be for her.
Well as I'm young free and single I slapped on the old Brut 33 and ran a comb across my bald head just to get me looking somewhere near the George Clooney look.
Knocking on the door she answered, and we a nice conversation and then i gave her the stray letter.
As we where talking she had the door only partially open and then I noticed the letter box open outwards and then snap shut.
A little voice then said behind it "mummy is that"Grandad"
Looking embarrassed she said "emmm no it's not"
Well that really poured cold water on my "chips" and quickly wrote that one off.
I went back home to watch Classic Coronation Street feeling my true age again (OLD) 🤣🤣

I went to enter one of British Cycling's Master's races and couldn't enter that particular category.
Turns out I'm not a 'C', but an 'E' for 'elderly' I presume and in a different race as British Cycling have different categories to British Masters Racing. The fast Master's are in one race where the age 40+ A/B/C/D's race together then it's the E+ for the old folk.
