I am sitting here in a nice new fleece with brown fake leather elbow patches, and am quite happy with it.

Any other recent realisations from the retro fraternity?

When your work colleagues can't understand why you don't listen to Radio 1/local commercial radio..

When people slowly realise that you're right when you say they can get their phone to last all day without needing recharging, by turning off the 3G/4G, but they can't fathom why or how anyone would ever want to.

That just because spellcheck says it should be "realize" "license" "acclimated" "meter" or "gray", doesn't make it so.

I'm the same age as you and i got IDed in the System Bolaget (state run booze shop) a couple of months ago. They have to ask if they think you are under 25.


Or maybe they were just taking the piss.
