You know you're getting old when...

Sorry to be the pedant again, but actually, that was when £2:50 was actually known as fifty bob, or two pounds ten shillings, or two Guineas and eight shillings, or six hundred pennies...can you see why we went decimal!
 
Oh dear, my beloved Ford Capris.
Met my wife when I had a pushbike and she had a Capri, only a couple of years old, white and gleaming.
Bike fitted in the back with the front wheel taken off.
Had loads of them over the years, never paid more than a grand for one, even started my gardening round in one.
Funnily enough, the last one died at MOT when we were doing Towers for the day in my wife's car, rotten as hell underneath.
Need ten grand for a half decent one now sadly.
 
...Bubbleworks is retired. Abdabs gone awol. And Remmy's on its last legs.
 
Pleased to say the first place I was accused of being a grandparent was by the teacups on the Beach.
Best mates kid...

One of my gardening customers has just asked me to get him some Pampas grass for his front garden.
I called him a dirty filthy swinger who should just turn to tinder instead.
He looked at me as if I was stupid.
I remember the tales from my youth...many many years ago.
For the puzzled, Google pampas grass rumours.
 
When you call a empty shop by the name of the company that had it for as long as you could remember. And a student replies with "who, where"
