My GD didn’t know what a census was until last week when I was filling ours in.
I was surprised but shouldn’t have been really, she would have been 12 last time and wouldn’t have been interested.

My late husband loved the Incredible String Band, I was forced to sit through an evening with Robin Williams smile

I was speaking to a friend about my move, and told her I was worried about my fragile Clarice Cliff and Beswick ware china, she'd never heard of either. Or Liberty.

Do you mean they haven’t read about the stuck shop or they don’t know what the Suez Canal is ?

A friend asked me this week what waffles are.

Well my children are in their early twenties and I was talking about the big ship stuck in the Suez Canal. To which they all said "The what!" I just can't believe they've never heard of it
