I’m 50 and my grandson (11) asked me if I knew black and white tv. And I had to tell him I did. Was fun watching snooker as a kid 😂

I feel old when I remember a time when people didn't take offence at perceived slights or didn't mind me saying Mr. Miss/Mrs/Ms etc. when addressing them.

One of my teens loves 90’s music. Now. But a couple of months ago when I was blasting out fatboy slim her attitude was along the lines of ‘please don’t mum 🙄😂

My parents gave me an old Ken Hom cookbook that was one of those tv tie-ins and came with a cassette. My 4yo looked at said cassette like it was a completely alien object. “Oh, it’s like a CD”, I chirpily replied. “Mummy, what’s a DC?” 😬

I shouldn’t be surprised, though. This is the kid who’s perpetually surprised that our tv doesn’t work like an iPad.

Hearing a kid on the train asking his friend what’s the tv show called that he was watching on his phone. It was The Fresh Prince

My old boss went to a Mary J Blige concert in about 2016 and a girl younger than me asked me who that was

Both of these made me feel really old

Going to the doctors, or dentist, and realise the medic seeing to you & providing advice is younger than you.

When the doctor, surgeon etc doesn’t ask anymore if there’s a chance you could be pregnant. First time that happened for an x-Ray I got upset 🤣🤣. What an idiot

Just watching Sophie Ellis bextor dancing around the stage at the Isle of Wight festival in a pink glittery leotard looking fabulous
Not a day older than she did 20 years ago whilst I look like someone's gran (we are both the same age) 😭
