    You can remember beds made with sheets, blankets and bedspreads.

    And then the arrival of continental quilts. 

    And then continental quilts being renamed as duvets.

    Also life before fitted sheets.
    Old army blankets when I was a child
    Luxury, we had old potato sacks. 
    True story?

    When I You reminisce with your mates about Tonbridge away in 1972 the day before the first round draw.
    Young and naive we looked on the map to see where Tonbridge was and thought getting a Lewis coach from Greenwich would be a good idea. Took fcking ages, going through village after village

    I'd like to think you wasn't phased and went for the repeat, "AFKA can't hear you, Hi Di HI"!

    Today I realised that all three MOTD presenter+pundits were older than me 😐 when it was said that none of them were born when Leicester previously won at Arsenal.

    I didn’t watch.....as I clearly remember how shite he was. 

    I recall he made another act out of the same broken 🎤 routine by changing it into a bloke talking behind a car window going up and down.

    You know you are getting older when you start mixing up older and younger. ☹️

    When there's a poor connection on an online meeting and nobody gets your Norman Collier reference.
    At my team meeting this morning, I reported that I had another meeting booked for later in the day with a guy called Stephen Lewis. Just to amuse myself I carried on "...who of course used to play Blakey". No one else was amused. After a long and painful silence my boss came to the rescue with, "I used to watch that with my grandparents".  I really ought to have known better.
