You feel in need of a nap after lunch (and this doesn't tend to go down well at work!).

You realise you are having this conversation with somebody who was actually born during that long hot summer when you were taking your 'O' levels! Now I feel REALLY old!

You feel compelled to tell everyone what a lovely joint of lamb you got from Tesco and rave about the price.

You can't poo every day.

You add any of the following to the end of your statements:

'God willing'.

'All things being equal'.

'If you see my meaning'.

'When it comes down to it'.

Your daughter comes downstairs in an outfit that you could have been wearing thirty years ago.

Your children start to vote in general elections.

Toys you had as a kid are now modern antiques.

Oh dear do you mean me by any chance?

I feel old when I look at our lists of student enrollments for September (I work at a Uni) and see most of the birthdates are 1987. Most of them probably wouldn't even know what 'O' levels are, goldencup!

'If you see my meaning'

Instead of saying you want new clothes, you say you 'could do with' them.

Yes Cherry Ripe I did mean you! I don't suppose they would know what 'O' levels were, I just threw that in as a further tongue-in-cheek example of my advanced years! Of course they were much harder than GCSEs

And obviously the sun has never shone since like it did in the summer of 1976.....

That's what my parents always say! They got married that year!

You not only don't know what's at Number 1, but don't care either.

Robbie seems genuinely amusing................
