You know your getting old when you find yourself admiring the hanging baskets at you local pub.

A friend of mine suggests that radio listening habits go in the following order: 1-4-2-4-dead.

It's much clearer for ladies. It's when French people call you Madam
Happened to me about 2 years ago, at a continental market in York....
And I listen to Radio 4, and World Service at night when Radio 4 goes off....

I've always done that. I object strongly to being treated like a moron in my own lounge. It's one of the many reasons I never watch telly.

When I'm on the stairs I can never remember if I'm going up or coming down then my pants get a bit wet and it reminds me I'm going up.

I tried to put the teapot down on the kettle stand, and wondered why it wouldn't go down!
Schoolboys nowadays don't offer old people seats on the bus. I stood up going from the town the other week and there must have been about 8 of the little *******s, don't know how many asterisks I've put, all sitting down, together with about 6 youngish girls with kids in pushchairs and I was hanging on for dear life! Ah well!

2 channels, black and white, 405 lines and the only house in the street with a TV so the neighbours used to come round to watch Coronation Street!Now, if you had said 2 channels, I could agree with you...

We had a 'party line' telephone... which wasn't a way of paying lots of money to chat to pi$$ed strangers at 3am on a Saturday morning, but a telephone line shared with the people who lived up the road. You had to press a button to make sure they weren't already on the phone, or to stop them accidentally listening in.
And the black and white TV used to break down every Christmas Eve (or so it seemed) and the brown-overalled chap would come and mend it and be our hero for an hour or so.
