I was telling a youngster the other day that I used to rock up to Stamford Bridge at 5 to 3, pay £1 to get into the Shed, and then pay another 50p to transfer to the West Stand benches. So £1.50 to sit down and watch Chelsea, and the rubbish I used to sit thru made me think I'd been overcharged!

He looked at me like I'd come from another planet.

Realising that it won't be long until we could feasibly be employing adults born in a different millennium... eek
There are soldiers in my Platoon born in 97.

Did you go to bed at 9:45?

I turn 30 in April:

  • Grey hairs
  • Every time someone calls me 'Sir'
  • Remembering the fall of the Berlin Wall (I was 5)

Child wink
I passed my driving test the year you were born
Children wink I'd been driving for 15 years by the time the wall came down!

Eyeing up women who I realise could be my daughter definitely makes me feel old as does realising the staff in McD could be my grandchildren!

Also, I remember Churchill's funeral and having a TV that was black and white and only had 1 channel - ITV had been invented but our TV wouldn't tune to it; not sure why, ITV was just off the scale where the knob would turn to!

Going to a friend's child's 1st birthday party. All the mums asked which one was mine. Not even the jokey 'oh it'll be you one day' no. Just outright assuming I had a child.

I'm not old enough to have a child FFS.

Then I realise I'm old enough to have a 12 year old...
