Oh god what would he make of me? When I was your age I didn't have colour TV, or an automatic washing machine, or a freezer. I had a £5 licence for my TV and radio and a 7/6d one for my dog. I had only flown as far as the Isle of Man and I'd been to France - by ferry and train. We had a car that broke down regularly at traffic lights and you had to know hand-signals to pass the driving test. Nobody wore seat-belts and you had to be very drunk not to be fit to drive.

Makes it worse when you take an LP out and the kid says "didn't they have big CD's when you were young"

My 6 year old likes saying to me 'You were born last century, weren't you Mummy.' :D

It's true, I was, but hearing it doesn't half make me feel old and I'm not yet 30.

Our parents were born in the same century as us so we could never have said that to them.
