Know what you mean about the doctors looking young and the it is true about policemen too and they seem to be so short.

Fizzy, I'm sorry, but I didn't understand a word.
Maybe I had too much wine.

Saright Bel - was there myself last night - don't worry about it - you're probably not old enough.

Naw, I went back and read it again: I didn't know you had a 'bring your son' day ( we have a girls day here), which is why I hadn't an idea what you were talking about.

Some days my children....with this changeuffdamaida

When my step-mom sends me pics of her grandaughter's new baby...she is way too young to have kids which makes me a great-aunt...I am mid-thirties and don't like that term...that makes me feel Older thand the hills of the Sound of Music. Uffdamaida

I became a grandmum in October after warning my kids never to do it to me they did. However there are such young grans around it did not make me feel as old as the aches and pains and the bluddy winter weather.

Working with someone who was born the year you left school.

I'm married to someone who was born the year I left school

The attitudes of some co-workers, who weren't yet born when I began this work, simply tiresome.

Seeing several generations of devices that I have serviced and maintained, in a museum of like things, ... THAT makes me feel 'less young'.

Aches and pains on Gloomy days...yikes. uffdamaida

The realisation that my "baby" sister is now a teenager.

Having the first semester students address me by the formal "Sie" rather than "du" for "you" when they ask me something

And the worst must have been when I was helping a little girl catch her from the pasture and she told me "My grandmother rides here, too - maybe you know her. Do you have grandchildren I could play with?" I was 18, then!

Remembering being 18 is easy. Counting how many TIMES I could be though, ...

You are a teenager with value added tax Rev.

But VAT is only 17.5%.

So a teenager with VAT is 20 years, 63 days, and 21 hours old, surely?

Over here, the vat I am familiar with are the one that beer is brewing in.

They're raising our VAT to 19% in January

Things that make me feel old - knowing what the VAT is

*runs off to Google VAT and related stuff ...*

I thought a VAT was something u deepfry food in...uffda. I had to Google it too. Over in the states,canada we call it another word which is not coming to my brain at the moment...extra tax.
I know when I was a kid a quarter use to buy a candy bar...and they were huge...now u cannot even call someone that cares for that much...uffdamaida

Sometimes the more among us feel 20 years and 63 days we act it, feel it, but just don't look it
