You know you are getting old when ...

[Night Train]

I remember the outside toilet and the tin bath. The tin bath was the luxury when we got too big to wash in the kitchen sink.

You know you are getting old when ...
The fact that you wear bi-focals / vari-focals means that you can see your bike computer at a quick glance once more...

I sometimes stand up and go to another room but forget why I went there. I rack my brains, give up and go back to the original room, sit down and then I remember!

Young uns - take heed - if you, er ... When you try to ... Don't blame me if ... Oh, damn - listen, try and think back to this thread when you get to the year 2048 and see if you can remember why you are doing that!

Oh I do that quite a lot, also if a customer asks me to do or order something I have to write it down there and then otherwise I forget. I am terrible at remembering people so I will be walking thorough town and find myself in a conversation with someone who has recognized me and I have no idea who they are.

Also I have driven into town to go and get something in particular then returned with everything except the very thing I went there for in the first place.

It hit home to me when I realised that one or two of my team had been born since I joined the job.....

I went to the theatre last night and was surrounded by silver haired people in blazers and slacks, then I realised that I fit in with that crowd.

I've done that with Ebay adn Google. Thought of something I want to look up and by the time I am there I've forgotten. I then remember when I shut down Firefox but it is gone again when I get back on line!

I just had difficulty remembering which forum the ''You know when you're getting old'' thread was on.
