Eleven signs that you're not just GETTING old - you've GOT THERE!


  • At last, you understand why your aged parents like watching Miss Marple and Dad's Army...


  • You go to do something like put the washing on, and discover you actually put it on about five minutes ago, though you have absolutely no recollection of doing so.


  • You fancy a cup of tea and a toasted teacake when you come back from shopping.


  • You think back fondly to the times of no internet and mobile phones, and tell people that it was much better, then.


  • Instead of leaping forward with a bright smile and your best pose, you now avoid cameras.  And mirrors.


  • You try on the sexy high heels you haven't worn for some years, and wonder why on earth you ever put yourself through it.


  • Since you last went to a wedding, you've been to at least five funerals.


  • A younger friend shows you the new 'retro' style she can do on her new camera - and it makes her photos look just like all those ones in your photo album, of you when you were her age...


(and you actually have photo albums, too...)

  • You are unaffected by pop culture, fashion and social trends as you've seen it all before, and know it's all just cyclical, anyway.



  • All the actors you fancy are at least 45...
  • You've smiled and nodded to at least half of these, and have your own to add, too!
