You know you're getting old when...

My Dad was a milkman on Higher Crumpsall back in the 60s, and me and my younger brother used to help him at weekends.
We used to call in at Slatterys for a meat and potato pie when we had finished delivering milk at lunchtime . Lovely consumed with a "spoilt" pint of milk from what was leftover on the milk float.

I grew up in Cheetham Hill top man my milk man. He had a right route. What is your old fellas name if you dont mind.

When you thought Colin Bell was a man and you were a kid only to find out now he's only 4 years older than you...

He's always been a god to me.

Volmax was on Great Ancoats Street near the Rochdale Canal .
I can also remember the trolley buses running along Great Ancoats Street in the mid 1960s when I was a kid.

That's the one.. Got a couple of subbuteo teams from there when I was a kid, managed to get a couple of extra players in the boxes in case any of the matches I was playing went to extra time so I could bring a couple of subs on.... haha!!

He is called Ronnie Egan. Still going strong at 93 years old. His round didn't go as far as Cheetham Hill. It stopped at The Woodlands Hotel. He worked for UCD - United Cooperative Dairies from 1961-1991.

Not a pub I went in much, but I think that you have got the name right.

Me neither actually.

Joe biddy sure that was his name. Ask your old man I lived Smedley lane side of Woodlands Rd.

When you find the "off topic" thread more interesting than Bluemoon forum with its people droning on ad nauseam about tickets and travelling to bloody Mongolia or somewhere to watch City play in some bloody country which only exists as an answer on "Pointless"....

When you not only are offered a seat on an otherwise rammed metrolink tram/tube train/bus but you also accept it...

Walking round Smithfield market with my son and daughter and I spotted a curved screen tv for sale on one of the outside stalls, on further inspecting my children informed me it was a glass fronted electric fire.
