General Chat

Just got back from visiting my mum and dad and laughed at this on their wall, funnily enough a lot of it applies to me lol !!!

A SENIOR CITIZEN IS ONE WHO WAS HERE BEFORE;
THE PILL, TELEVISION, FROZEN FOODS,
CONTACT LENSES, CREDIT CARDS,
... AND BEFORE MAN WALKED ON THE MOON.
FOR US, "TIME SHARING" MEANT TOGETHERNESS,
NOT HOLIDAY HOMES, AND A "CHIP" MEANT A PIECE OF WOOD.
"HARDWARE" MEANT NUTS AND BOLTS,
AND "SOFTWARE" WASNT EVEN A WORD.
WE GOT MARRIED FIRST, THEN LIVED TOGETHER,
AND THOUGHT CLEAVAGE WAS SOMETHING BUTCHERS DID.
A "STUD" WAS SOMETHING THAT FASTENED
A COLLAR TO A SHIRT, AND "GOING ALL THE WAY" MEANT
STAYING ON A DOUBLE DECKER TO THE BUS DEPOT.
WE THOUGHT "FAST FOOD" WAS WHAT YOU ATE IN LENT;
AND A "BIG MAC" WAS AN OVERSIZED RAINCOAT
AND "CRUMPET" WE HAD FOR TEA.
IN OUR DAY, "GRASS" WAS MOWN;
"POT" WAS SOMETHING YOU COOKED IN;
"COKE" WAS KEPT IN THE COAL HOUSE AND
A "JOINT" WAS COOKED ON SUNDAYS.
WE ARE TODAY`S SENIOR CITIZENS. A HARDY BUNCH
WHEN YOU THINK HOW THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.

Thats very good, Marilyn, and so true.

And S*X was what the coals came in. That is unless you were a miner and got several loads a year, and it was dumped on the street in front of your house, and you had to barrow it in after you had come off shift at pit.
Yes those were the days. LOL
