When you're in a shower in a hotel and become increasingly irritated with the ineffectual shampoo only to then realise that you're pouring mouthwash over your head!
Better than moisturiser, believe me!Yeeees, back in the shower again.

Or, at least, when only posh people had phones.
I didn't live in a house with a phone until 1970 - and then it was a party line. I can still remember my dad and mum buying our first fridge - probably around 1967.Or, at least, when only posh people had phones.

when you mention leftism by leftfield to a girl and she has no idea what it is
This Daily Mash article brought me up short.It was the mention of the House of Love. In 1988/9, the House of Love were very cool. You simply cannot talk to young people about that. It is ancient history to them and they don't give a s
t that you were young once and listened to cool new bands.gazza285 said:

The truck which used to come to empty the thing was known as the "honey wagon". I can only assume that the workmen had no sense of smell. I dread to think whether they washed their hands before they ate their packed lunch.
I have to add though, my grandad grew cracking vegetables in the garden. Hope my mum washed them thoroughly.

My grandparents lived in a tied cottage with a "drop-hole" bog. I used to dread visiting in case I got caught short - the smell, especially in summer, was horrendous, and would make you retch.

There's nothing quite so appalling as the smell of human waste.
You go out to buy a new appliance - a washing machine, cooker etc - and one of the major considerations for your impending purchase isn't so much how stylish and mordern it looks or how it performs but more that there's no nooks or crannies or difficult to get behind knobs that would make cleaning it an arduous task.

That's not so much you know you're getting old but more how you know you don't have a cleaner
