Been there and done that. Best one had to be the last bar I worked in. At one point it was the chefs, assistant manger and owner (4 people) that were older than me.

I'm 24 and everyone was at least a year younger than me

When the media define the music you listened to in your teens and 20's as an era of music.
So Iggy Pop, Rolling Stones and Hawkwind

I'm sure my uncle was D on the services numbers

Kinda got your generations mixed up there youngster

Iggy Pop came after the Stone & Hawkwind, and we were listening to Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Status Quo & Springsteen before Iggy came onto the scene about a decade later.

Notice I can relate to decades, I've been about that long

Mavi you've just showed you age there.
I realised after I posted Iggy was nigh on 20 years after the Start of Hawkwind

I used to know one of the later members of Hawkwind, not the original group, used to go fishing with him

I can remember buying vynl copies of 'Warrior on the edge of time'

[andrewsmith]

Haha

Just check my dates and my response is:
Did you buy the original Motorhead EP?

[maviczap]

My brother bought Ace of Spades when it was released. I was old when that was released

My first purchase was David Bowie's 'Laughing Gnome'

[andrewsmith]

I estimate your age as early 50's

Apologies to all that this making very old!

Funnily enough, in tonight's local news paper there is a double page all about naval sayings.
Jackspeak, and how a few naval terms that appear in everyday language.
The one that got me was "I was on the main gate when you were on cow and gate! "
Also cartoons drawn by Lt Cecil (tugg) Wilson that continue to be used in the Navy News.
Another that made me laugh was the term 'pickle jar officer' - A university graduate who can tell you the square root of a pickle onion to three decimal places but cannot get the fooker out of the jar!
