You know you are getting old when.........

[jeremyp]

You're older than the Prime Minister (happened to me in May 1997, by 23 months, stopped again when GB took over - he's four months older than me - and since 2010 I've been much older than the PM).

Theresa May was born in 56. If you were born in 51 or later, you aren't "much older" than her.

I remember being slightly discombobulated when Boris Becker won Wimbledon - first male single's champion who was younger than me - I didn't realise at the time there would never be another male single's champion at Wimbledon older than me.

I remember, in the late 60s, being shocked to discover that there were pop stars younger than me. I was only in my late teens!
JP - it depends what you mean by "much older" - it's not exactly a precise term.
My dad wasn't older than the pm until 1979, although it was a close thing with Wilson and Heath, both of whom were born, like him, in 1916, heath only a fortnight or so before him.

You know you are getting old when you refuse to buy a smartphone and learn how to text.

Both my parents (in their late 70's) have bought smartphones and can text. Although, to be fair, my mother knew how to text before that having owned a mobile phone of some sort for at least 20 years.

Both of them can use contactless from their phones and the Sainsbury's smart shop app.

I have a no frills mobile phone, which I take with me only when I am driving, just in case there is a problem with the car, apart from that I never bother with it.

You'll be telling us next that you don't say "thank you" when gives out the money.

When Alexa has fulfilled your request, it's definitely not a good idea to say "thank you, Alexa".

[SteveH]

Depends who Alexa is, and what the request was.

Guilty as charged. your Honour!

Whi or what is Alexa?

[Harrowby Hall]

Alexa is the busiest meteorologist in Britain.
She "minds" more children - simultaneously - than a thousand nurseries.
She has just about the whole genre of modern popular music at her disposition.

And, if you ask her nicely, she will turn the central heating on.

Alexa is my friend.

Deleted - that annoying warning about new posts, would you like to review, kept coming up and I thought my post  had disappeared.

And I think this is a new post - not a deleted one. So I have put in three posts when I only meant one little one!

ETA Okay, only two posts, one with an error … … I should have just had a cup of tea instead!!

I am not6 getting old, I am old!

No you aren't. 100 is the new 80, 80 the new 60, 60 the new 40, and so on.

My kids have a sweep going on with all their friends and relatives on "By how much is Dad going to miss his 100th birthday!"

I've got a fiver on 24 hours or less! That's my kind of luck!

You can remember with clarity what you did years ago, but forget what you did yesterday.
