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?

Old enough to know better, young enough not to care, is my motto!

You are never too old to hug your Gran. Mantra to teenage grandchildren.

My husband's favourite comment, when I am doing something he deems inappropriate is 'how old are you?' My response is usually, why? How old do I need to be?'grin

To grow old DISGRACEFULLY, at least that's my intention ???

Ice cream! Enjoyed a Mr Whippy 99 ice cream with my 4 year old granddaughter in the New Forest. Lovely

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

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.

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.

@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 !!

Never too old for the nudist beach !!

Poshlady Mon 19-Jul-21 11:53:36

Agree with Newatthis never stop learning however old you maybe.

Yammy Mon 19-Jul-21 11:16:47

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

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.

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

Stillcrazy Mon 19-Jul-21 11:07:29
