The bloke who sits next to me at work - too young to remember the 4-4 play-off final, wasn't even born when Kylie Minogue was in Neighbours. So young, in fact, that he hasn't even realised he's gay, even though the rest of the office has!
Having to explain to colleagues who Clive Dunn was and getting plenty of blank looks with my "Don't Panic!" impression. They're not even that young...
More to do with lack of curiosity than age mate. That is what worries me about the young. Ask the same people the same thing in six months and they still will not have a clue as it is in one ear and out the other...
Kid in the row behind me at the Barnsley match when the 'fiiiiiiiish' came on the big screen: "My dad told me about this, there was this really old Charlton player called Mark Fish..."
I was chatting to a teenager (nothing dodgy I might add) and when I mentioned a kids show, shes said "oh yeah, my Mum loved that". I felt like I was about 100. That, and looking in the mirror.

Being waved to the front of the queue outside a gig in Noo Yawk while everyone else was getting the third degree to prove they were over 21. Has it's advantages I suppose:-)

Mind you I do get 'em back when they start banging on about Joey Essex et al...
A while ago, having had my lunch in a restaurant, I went to the cash desk to settle up. The girl behind the till was going on about how nice my shirt was. As I was standing there thinking that the old magic was still there she said, "it's just like the sort of thing my dad would wear"!
getting everywhere an hour early 'just incase the roads/trains are bad' not winging it. looking ar someone having driving lesson and thinking jesus they look 12.
