When you can afford expensive stuff

When you can remember TV sets that you had to tune to different channels

When you choose clothes that are well made and will last

When you start feeling content with 'ones lot in life'

You were lucky! In my day we didn't have cups, we held the scalding tea in our bare hands.

I'm an Architect.
You realise you are getting old when you remember working as a junior draughtsman designing a building, seeing it built, opening as a lively community centre, going into disuse and finally seeing it demolished.
All that remains are a few broken quarry tiles behind railings and now used as surface car-parking at £4 a day.
