When you can remember the registration number of your first cars but struggle to remember the registration plate of your current or any recent cars.
Even worse is when you you type your reg number correctly in the car park ticket machine, then realise you’ve come in your wife’s car when you go to put the sticker in the window.
When you come out of the supermarket and have a panic because you can't remember where you parked. You wander around trying to look casual and then suddenly remember you walked that day to the supermarket!!

I’ve gone one better (worse). I got my first parking ticket for years because I chose the wrong car when I paid by phone. So, not only did I pay to park but I got fined as well.
Well, I'm glad that post got six LOLs. At £30 for the parking fine and £3.30 for the parking fee, that works out at £5.55 per LOL. Have I told you about that time I got fined £500 for running over a traffic warden?

Just brought your ratio down a bit to £4.76 - hopefully lessens the pain a bit..
When I started to watch football games around 1998 I was only 11 years old. I got seriously into football in 2000 and started to watch the Premier League. As a teenager I absolutely liked/admired those players like Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole, Darren Bent, etc. As I got older I noticed good players that caught my eye were getting younger and younger. I gradually stopped having the 'admiring' feelings towards them, simply appreciation. That was when I started to feel I'm getting old.
Last night I was watching the England game and the commentator said Walker is the oldest player in the squad who was born in 1990. I was like 'wow' (I was born in 1987). And then I noticed Mount whom I've read many good things about in the past few months but never seen play before. He was really impressive. Great great player. Then I looked him up and saw he was born in 1999, 12 years younger than myself - in Chinese culture 12 years are one full zodiac cycle meaning a whole generation. I really really feel old......
This happened before lockdowns existed........... A child completed his Reading with the dog........ "Can I ask a question" Me .............. Of course. Child......... My Mum wants to know how old you are Me ............ *puffing out chest and feeling good* Why would your Mum want to know how old I am? Child............. So she can tell my Nan!!
