Scroll down for the list

I admit to seven although I mutter, 'Ooof' when I get up, not when I sit down. grin

Had to google Rachel Cut. I've never had one unless it was by accident.

What a patronisingly stupid list.

I thought it was a bit of light hearted fun!!

6 for me - quite proud of that!

So I am, over 70. No chance of keeping up with younger people so that's that I suppose. ( see how I started my sentence with 'so'........must be up to date. Ha!!!)

My youngest scored more than me and is much younger.

Oopsadaisy1 Thu 29-Apr-21 09:09:39

Why is it patronising?

3 but poss 4 because I have 5 dvds so maybe that counts as a collection!

I was amused by ‘you are still on Facebook’ never have but is that now a sign that you are old?

8! And all these under 30’s will be over sixties one day won’t they, God bless them!

Froglady Thu 29-Apr-21 08:13:54

Mine's 10!

I must be a mere youngster. Only 3 apply.

4, all tv related, because I rarely watch tv and never have, so that isn't age related. I was the same at 20,30,40 etc. I can, however use the tv remote.

The idea of planning 2 routes when you go on a journey is something it would never occu to me to do and I have never heard of anyone else doing it either - However I can read a map and DH and I have a lot of random cross country journeys based on 'bored now, lets turn left/right here.'

7 for me. They all seem quite reasonable. grin.

Susan56 Thu 29-Apr-21 07:41:59

8!

kittylester Thu 29-Apr-21 07:01:16

8 - I didnt think that was too bad!!

Calendargirl Thu 29-Apr-21 06:51:16

9.

Wonder what the youngsters would think if we made up a list for the under 30’s, detailing traits that we think apply to them?

Some would look pretty daft.

'You wear comfortable shoes' - well, that's pretty much the entire male population isn't it!

A Rachel cut is the hairstyle that Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel Green from Friends had. It's a long layered bob with a centre parting.
I always thought that it involved a lot of extensions in reality.

Who on earth calls trainers 'sneakers'?

I admit that I am obsessed with bin day. So much so that I started a thread about it. It got lots of lovely replies with posters detailing their personal bin arrangements.
In fact it's bin day here today - green & brown and it's bin cleaning day. Woo! smile

The 'gas barbercue' part is a bit weird confused
Was the 'survey' commissioned by a barbecue manufacturer?

The whole thing reads like a pile of (M&S) pants tbh smile

Three – I still have a DVD collection, I have never posted a video to social media (I don't take photographs or make videos) and I am still on Facebook. I have no idea what a "Rachel cut" is and can't be bothered to find out. I haven't drunk a cappuccino since I was a teenager but I do like my coffee to be coffee and not confectionary. I have never encountered anyone obsessed with bin day and I certainly don't think about it until it is bin day. This list is just nonsensical – no, not M & S knickers or anything else, I don't think the word "funky" has ever passed my lips, I don't use hashtags at all and loathe well done steak and, for that matter, well done lamb. Enough!
