Favourite saying from my adult Daughter is that “she is never too old for Spending Money”. She is over 40!
Any more, ‘never too old for’ sayings in your family?

Never too old to spend a week in a villa in Spain totally naked.
Unoverlooked, it was fabulous, skinny dipping and not having a wet swimsuit on after.

Watching my 80 year old dad do 3 roll polys one after another then pulling a wheelie on his bike and the sheer enjoyment on his face proves never too old

Never too old to find a new cat, although actually this last new cat was found for me by our elderly cat who wants some feline company.

You are never too old to get on a swing in the park. I've never tried the slide in case my bottom gets stuck halfway down grin

Never too old to do what you want to do, and not bother about anyone else's opinion!
Wear what you feel comfortable in and makes you feel good as well!

Age is a number. If something interests me enough to try 'then why not? Whether I achieve it ? hmm another matter .

I'm another skinny dipper ? nothing like beautiful Scottish water washing over you ?
You are never to old to take a chance. Get out of your comfort zone.

Never too old to watch "Gallipoli" for the third time with Mel Gibson aged about 30. Unfortunately, Dh does not feel the same!

Agree with Newatthis never stop learning however old you maybe.

Pammie1 Mon 19-Jul-21 12:05:50

Never too old for the nudist beach !!

Pammie1 Mon 19-Jul-21 12:12:19

@Yammy. I’ve watched Gallipoli several times for the same reason !! There’s a very early Mel Gibson film called ‘Tim’ in which he plays a young man with learning difficulties, who meets and eventually marries an older woman. I think he was in his mid twenties when he made it, but I don’t remember that much about the plot because his looks at the time were spectacular, and I was too busy lusting after him !!

Rock n roll ! I heard on the Today programme about an entertainer who visits care homes and sings ,encouraging everyone to join in. What was he singing? Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag , white cliffs of Dover etc etc. Good grief ,how old does he think elderly people are? What about The Who, The Stones, white snake, even Obladee Ooblada sounds dated.

Radio 1 for me! From dancing around to Sandie Shaw and Lulu as a child to dancing around to Joel Corry and Little Mix as a 57 year old I have always loved pop music.

... To sit in a paddling pool
... To dance around the kitchen

Another children’s zip wire fan here. GCs have wait their turn. I only weigh 8.7, so not likely to break it.
