When you...

...count up and find you've been driving for 40 years eek

...remember Blue Peter before John Noakes joined the team

...remember the first episode of Dr Who

...tell your kids that your first job paid 21p an hour (but fish and chips only cost 9p, so it wasn't too bad!

When you go out to a wedding party (on say, a Friday evening), can no longer drink alcohol so you drink water all evening, you enjoy dancing to the 80s band playing the event, stay up after 1am thinking "god, not been this late to bed for ages"...

Then on Sunday afternoon (while watching the football) you're still feeling completely knackered.
