,,,wandering around a shop and all the assistants are in varying states of undress and the very first thought that goes through your head is.

Christ, she'll catch a cold dressed like that!

Or you wander past Victoria's Secret and see their underwear display and think.....If she came home in them, i'd wonder where all the material has gone??

Wondering why it seems okay to walk around with a belt tied round your hamstrings to stop your trousers falling down that are already south of your arse showing the world your boxer shorts.

Wondering why your misses isn't keeping up with current trends and is wearing a bra....then thinking you wouldn't like it if someone was perving over her so she best wrap up


I am so getting old

Pardon, what, or eh? becomes a regular part of your vocabulary.....

... and you have a personal risk assessment before attempting to eat anything hard!

When you have to go to the hospital to have a camera inserted front and back because you’re at that age!! (Looking forward to that tonight!)

And when your ear and nose hair grows quicker than what’s left on your head!!

You pay a fiver for a pint of lager & feel the need to explain that when you first went to work that was two day's wages.

When you take your birth year and minus your current age from it to see what was going on at that time. In my case WW1 had only finished a few years previous.

I had that done a few weeks ago, I honestly thought they would poke two cameras in me at the same time till they met in the middle.
Incidentally I never felt the " rear " one at all but the one they shoved down my throat I could feel it moving about , weird feeling.
I used to use an endoscope to look down deep bores at work to check the surface finish on machined parts and the diameter of that was smaller than the ones they used.

Also try explaining to 16/17 year old apprentices that when I started work at 16 years old my wage per week was £8.50 and I felt minted, a pint of mild was about 15p, 4 pints, 10p in the jukebox and a bag of chips on the way home.

It's been like that since 1995.

Everyone of my kids birthdays makes me feel old (even more so than my own birthday).

Some years ago I was having a beer in a bar in my then local town. The barmaid said I was 'the best looking old bloke in this town'. I was only 37 then ffs.
