Feeling my age ...

A very valuable one Dragonfly!

A bit like policemen when we get to a certain age.....

I love antiques.
I'm watching an antique film " Poor Cow " anyone remember it ?

it makes you a golden oldie.

I prefer the term 'vintage', like a fine wine or a lovely early model of car.

Ellan, that takes me back, I remember going to the pictures to see that many years ago. I was such an innocent it really shocked me!

I remember having a hospital appointment and the doctor was a little boy!

There is a local museum which has displays of domestic items used "in the past" - I have used most of them.

My brother told me about walking around a motor bike museum and seeing a bike exactly like the one he had owned!

My dad always maintained that to be "antique", an object must be at least 100 years old. Sadly, nowadays it appears to be a term which can be applied to anything that was made prior to about 1990. Which I guess is most of us on GN?

On a coach tour - the guide called us “recycled teenagers” - I quite liked that!

If you are as well made and as valuable as most of those antiques you have no worries!

Didn't 'Poor Cow' cause a fuss because the opening scene was of a very personal place ??

I think my right knee tells me I am at least 100 ?

When my friends and I went to the Tenement Museum in New York it was like walking into our London Victorian terraced houses that we both lived in. They even had the same cast iron black range I had in mind!

Mine not mind!

When you see a doll you had as a child (well still have her) in an antique shop....sighs

Nvella we still have the cast iron black range in our Victorian house .

Liz46,that made me laugh.

I had the same experience last year He was very polite & caring tho Made me feel like a valuable Elder

i met a barrister last week who was probably 9

I recently went to a fantastic museum in Marychurch,
Devon called Bygones.
In particular there were displays dating back from the 50s
and 60s. that I had either eaten, drunk , worn or used.
It was a lovely trip down memory lane ?
