Seeing things on T.V antique programmes that you remember buying new.
On the Roadshow last week it was Eagle comics and on Bargain Hunt it was a Bako building set (not that I watch daytime tellie!).0 - Sponsored links:

Grey nose hairs are my latest. Or when you can't sit in a chair without groaning. As Ben Elton once sort-of-said "I may be 30, but my bottom remembers the war"0

I think I may still have my Bako stuff - is it worth anything?0 -
Oh Bako I loved that. My mum bought me a job lot of it in an auction. It's probably illegal now, all those metal rods sticking up to poke an unsuspecting eye with.[cite]Posted By: Saga Lout[/cite][cite]Posted By: March51[/cite]Seeing things on T.V antique programmes that you remember buying new.

You're right - strange that I don't remember ever injuring myself on my highly dangerous toys. Health and Safety just allows more stupid kids to reach maturity - is that a good thing?0 -
When you fall over and people show concern rather than laughing.
When you find yourself calling a footballer washed up and old and realising he's younger than you.0 -
Saga Lout: the Bako was a basic set in a rather battered box but it went for £30.00 It would probably have done better in a specialist toy sale rather than in a general auction
As for you Mr.Oggy, I'll have you know we had one of the first radiograms in our street! And a T.V with a big 'goldfish bowl' on the front to get a bigger picture.0 -
Having to tell the kids that my mum and dad didn't always have a telephone or colour tv !

Around the same time you had hair !

Watching the kids faces when you tell them you didn't have internet/home computers/video or DVD players/mobile phones/only 3 TV channels that switched off at night/B&W tv until the age of 10 in my house..............the list goes on.
They are amazed we got through childhood without dying of boredom. I try telling them that i probably had a more rewarding time than they could ever imagine before they inform me it's time for my meds and afternoon nap.0 -
When you get your shoes and coat on, shuffle through a gale to the shops, go into the shop and suddenly realise you've completely forgot what the hell it was you left your nice warm front room for in the first place. Then realising you've also neglected to remember your mobile and have to traipse back home and admit you had no idea what you went out for.
[Me. Yesterday. My missus had asked me to buy some cereal. She's still laughing.]0 -
With you on that one BA. Caught the free bus to Tescos the other day (old timers express) but somehow lost the list I'd been given and couldn't remember much of what was on it. Wandered around collecting things by guesswork and eventually got home with hardly anything listed but loads of other stuff. The unexpected bottle of Scotch is going down well but we've had to cadge a bog roll from a neighbour.0

Really appreciating sitting in the garden drinking coffee, on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning ....... and not wanting to go anywhere or do anything.0

Your jaw drops when a young lad on 'Eggheads' thinks that the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final was Maradona.0
