You know you are getting old when...

[Digger]

. . . you no longer have the confidence to go down the stairs two at a time.

Also finding yourself go upstairs two steps at a time half as often as you used to!

Taking several dozen jam jars back to the grocery shop and coming home with pockets jingling with returned deposits of 2d per jar.

Taking six jam-jars to the local Essoldo cinema as entrance money for the Saturday morning matinee of cartoons & terrible westerns.

Sadly I was never allowed to go to Saturday morning pictures...

That's so sad mate

I don't read a paper either. Probably because I can't find my reading glasses though.

You realise that you have more books on your Kindle than you will probably have time left to read ( and still keep buying more)

You go to bed at 10.30pm, stone cold sober on New Years eve with a good book.

only to be woken up by those noisy neighbours fireworks.

When you buy a pack of 10 pencils and realise you'll probably never need to buy pencils again.

Unless you can't remember where you left them.

No, she normally doesn't come to bed until well after midnight.

Takes me back. I used to stand about 6 or 7 steps up and see how far I dare to jump. 10 steps in total, highest I managed was 8.

When you walk into the menswear department in Selfridges and it resembles a scene akin to a bomb going off in Lewis Hamilton's wardrobe.

I was totally fking shocked, when did this happen?

My wife and I walked out both tutting.

Selfridges used to be like a posh John Lewis - high quality gear, quite conservative. Displays of stripy old school ties and sensible brogues.

Last time I was there they had a white cotton lab coat (the sort you wear for chemistry at school) with graffiti on it for 1400 quid! Full of tourists wearing what looked like sleeping bags trying to buy the latest Japanese camouflage hoody

You know you are getting old when you remember having a waste paper basket by your work desk, not recycling points.
