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.
I'd been on nodding terms with a smart young woman for some time.
The other day she beamed a smile at me, approached and then did the dreaded head tilt (45 degrees) and said, " Have you been keeping warm enough indoors?"
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.

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.

I bought an rotating electric sander manicure drill thing, it saved me having to replace mirrors and eye glasses broken by sharp pieces of nail flying up when I clipped them, plus I couldn't reach my toenails over my huge gut, and when I could I couldn't see my nails to cut them with my poor eyesight.
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!

Indeed so, 50 years since my dad died and I've missed him everyday since.

TBF, if you still have them then they probably are your best. Most clothes aren’t made to last these days and the quality isn’t always there.
