Re: You know you're getting old when..
I used to like the half pence piece and pound notes- the halfpenny was so small it was like toy money and pound notes made me feel I had more money than I did. Mind you even as a child I found it odd that so many things were 49 1/2p or 99 1/2p,and that somehow that halfpence off was supposed to make things so much more enticing.
Also you know you`re getting (or feeling) old when everyone under about 25 seems like another species,or at the very least someone you could have technically given birth to. I suppose another sign is when you find yourself reminiscing on threads like these! |

Another one is when you start remembering all summers as being gently warm and sunny,and all childhood Christmasesesesesss as white. And just generally finding yourself thinking (or even muttering aloud) that `things` just used to be better.

Being scared of technology and feeling like an irrelevant dinosaur, (and illiterate) because of this aversion. It's the behaviours associated with it as well. Think back to summer of 2013, Andy Murray has just won Wimbledon and appears on the balcony to offer the fans a sight of the trophy. You expected rapturous applause and I'm sure there was, but what I got from the TV was pictures of 80% + of people raising their camera phones; capturing the moment for posterity but forgetting to live the moment, or living it though a device. |

You get annoyed when Antiques Roadshow is replaced with a Formula 1 racing thing.

You've got a stick solely designated to stirring paint, and you know exactly where that stick is.
It's 6 o'clock on Friday and you're in your pyjamas. Comfort and practicality are the main criteria in the purchase of new clothes. |

You remember all four versions of Band Aid being released.*

When you see a famous actor who you fancied when you were a schoolboy/girl starting to play "older" characters on TV. In my case, seeing Julia Sawalha on TV last night playing a Middle-Aged Mum character reminded me that Press Gang was a long time ago
