    Jools personally made a noise complaint about my wedding. A bridesmaid gave him the middle finger and told him where to go! 
    Coolings Castle? Son was best man there last year.
    Edit - just read subsequent comments that agree.

    You’re the last person to know what having an upside down pineapple in your trolley is all about and you hear about it on radio 4 as though it’s something normal. 
    You're definitely not the last person.  When I googled it I also found this. 

    An upside-down pineapple: You're a swinger looking for a couple. Putting a peach in someone's trolley: You're basically flirting. Lettuce: You're looking for a one night stand. Lentils: You want something long-term.

    Beware all ye who enter the fruit and veg aisle  :#  
    There is a house up Brockley Rise, probably early 1900's, with four upside down pineapple statues on the front wall, I always have a snigger as I walk past
    I used to live on Brockley Rise. I vaguely remember pineapples. But not outside my house.
  • When the fact that 1975 is 50 years ago means something.
  • MAybe she wants to be your human hot water bottle?
  • Everyone holds the doors (mainly toilet) open for you, instead of letting them slam in your face.
  • People offer up their seat to you on the tube.

    Blimey, you must be old Bob. I've not had that yet (though I have reached the point where I no longer feel guilty about not giving up my seat for someone else).

    I'm getting it sometimes now.
    What intrigues me is what happens over the course of let's say say one week where no one holds the door or offers a seat, to where most do.
    I mean did I age a few years over the course of a week?

    It's happened a couple of times on the tube - I've politely declined the offer, muttering 'cheeky b*stard' under my breath.

    I'm 67!

  • When you go to cut your toenails and look at the clippers thinking that they’re not going to be strong enough. And then feel sorry for any future care worker who has to attempt to cut them if you end up in a home.
    Always have a shower or bath before cutting toe nails.

    When you own Jumpers older than the World Darts Champion. 
    When you look back at old family photographs and you're wearing the same clothes as when they were taken - and you still consider them as your best.
    When you have old family photograph albums with pictures printed off camera film and not just stored on your phone. 
  • When you hear silly facts on the radio like todays classic:

    wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go Go was released closer to Workd War 2 than today.

    You are sitting up all cosy in bed, with a mug of tea, the treacle and the pooch, thinking do I really want to go out in this freezing weather to the football today? The roads might be a bit slippy and those pavements could be dodgy.....

    Watching Hootenanny tonight. Bob Geldof, Roger Taylor and Kathy Sledge all looked so old and Jools was bumbling about like a fat uncle at a wedding. Surely that's not my generation.


    I can't believe nobody told me Dead South were on! Just found the clip on Youtube. Marvellous!
