When you have to make that massive dash from the car you've just parked in the driveway to the loo inside and you panic cause you know that any delay will mean you will wet your pants.

And you only went out for 5 mins to pick up some bread and milk...

when you talk about betamax videos

when you mention the first vinyl album you bought was paid for in one and two cent pieces, and you are asked "whats vinyl?". They are also puzzled by the fact there were one and two cent coins

You really made me laugh with this one....
When I asked my best friend (only 36) what he wanted for his birthday, he told me that he wanted a new melways!
To be honest, I didn't know they still printed them but long story short, I bought one for him at good old K-mart!

it was an absolute god send! I would of been totally lost, and the person I had with me had no idea how to get there either. Thankyou Red Cross for having one in the patient transport car.

Mondays trip was different in that the person didn't tell me where and how to drive

You poor oldies,

Once you realise that age is a state of mind, a mental attitude.

Then you will realise that all those things mentioned in this thread are "memories in the making" 🙂

When you tell the receptionist you are going out to get a dozen and a half cakes for the morning tea, and she says "we usually get 18".
