I’ve been looking for the signs of ageing in myself, although at 58, I don’t consider myself old. Do you just wake up one day and start liking beige, muttering about youngsters on their devices, and thinking the Conservatives may be the party for you after all?
Or is it more gradual than that?
Oh, it's quite gradual. The signs are subtle and they include:
- You enjoy watching Midsummer Murders
- You think Volvos and Mazdas look quite fetching
- Corduroy and moleskin are preferred to denim
- Radio 4 takes the place of R1 & R1Xtra
- You look forward to staying in with a good book
- Young girls smile at you (because you remind them of their Dad)
- As mentioned earlier, you never pass a loo without having a "safety wee"
10 years ago I'd have laughed at the thought of any of these....
