I make my sons laugh because I still talk about the Gas Board, the Electricity Board and the GPO.

I also sometimes call the radio the wireless. I had a lot of dealings with a Solicitor recently and I half expected him to be wearing a pin striped suit and to offer me a small sherry. He was wearing very casual clothes and I wasn't even shown where a coffee machine was.

When I was having trouble having the phone and internet set up I said -

"When I was a young woman you went into your new house or flat and there was a telephone on the floor with the number clearly printed on a label on the phone, it was that simple. Life has become so complicated!!!!
