First noticed my eye sight getting worse when I had to write a cheque, they started watering.

Oh yes I'm in. Keep going cos I can't do anything else

Great thing is about this age is you genuinely do not give a monkeys toss what others think.

What a relief!

Some things you can do to wind up the young uns - or genuinely do anyway

(Spoons will confirm this)...

Tell the same crap joke every day and insist it's the first time you told them.

Mix their names up when you introduce them to a customer.

Leave the indicators on till they mention it - or lean over and cancel it for you.

Hide the van keys somewhere then insist one of them must have them.

Remind them how good 60s/70s progressive rock was.

Pretend you were in love with the Spice Girls.

Ask them how their mobile phones work?

Tell them about the old days - any old crap will do.

Every monday tell them it's your birthday.

given up using cheques. just use bacs. as for glasses always loosing them hence only get reading glasses. and as for reading texts have to zoom sometimes to read it then. and as for how to use the phone it rings i ke pictures but as for downloading apps or should that be apes. as my phone monkys around when i try and do anythink teccy. :biggrin:give it to son in law to sort out.

same with caps always doing a runner only to turn up when i do not need them or the only one i find is may aigle with ear muffs not much cop on a warm day.

still i am the junior when it comes to coppicing majority are in there 70,s and built like a ox and can out work me.

I dont get up on the back of my transit very often,but when i do,the only way now is to sit on it then swing round onto my knees then stand up.

Getting off is simpler,i get the nearest breathing youth to operate the tipper and slide out the back.

A benefit of being in the club, being able to drink several pints of Stella, but with the maturity not to turn into a plonker or wife beater! And as we get up in the night to empty anyhow, more wee doesn't matter!
