You know you're getting old when...

[Bob]

...You can remember getting water from the well in the garden, we didn't have taps till we moved to Coton fields, when i was 5 years old!

From what I've seen down our well, you wouldn't want to drink the water.

My dad used to say "If it's got newts in it, it must be clean"

I'm not particularly old but people seem to think I am!

I'm constantly asked 'ooo do you remember so and so!'

They are then met with my blank face and me screeching 'How old do you think I am!'

You refuse to listen to 'music' by Pitbull or Rizzle Kicks out of principle - purely because they have a stupid sounding name.

 

[Gadget]

Rizzle Kicks no but i quite enjoy Pitbull lol.
I've found myself looking at the way younger than me girls and women are doing their makeup and thinking to myself my mum used to do that to me back in the 70's.

Your 7yr old daughter tells you that you can't have a Onesie as you'd never get it off in time to have a wee, and would wet yourself!!!

...you go shopping to birmingham, and you don't go in a single clothes shop because "they're all too expensive/trendy," yet you spend literally hours in debenhams getting all too excited over pots, pans, and other homewares

 

[tek-monkey]

Thats terrible, you need to man up and buy a nice knife block to match the new kitchen.

EDIT: A recent one of mine, you finally clear out all the old clothes you've not worn in ages and find out some are considered fashionable again.

...you start thinking dr. who is way too scary for early-evening family viewing! the latest baddies look like the cenobites from hellraiser!

...someone mentions 1990 and you find yourself briefly thinking "oh, so about 10 years ago"

Same as the millenium being 13 years ago! Where did those years go!

Stolen from my fiance's Facebook status yesterday - Are we old since we are drinking sherry?
To which I replied yes and also because we have been going to bed at 10 pm every night this week and both reading with our reading specs on!

Probulary more to the cold weather of late. When it snowed a couple of weeks ago we bought port and a selection of cheese, we refrained from bringing the Christmas tree back in the house though.
