Now, maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong, but have 4 - 7 year olds changed a bit recently?
Here’s some typical answers we seem to be getting from Grandchildren of that age today.
Q. Shall we build a tree house today kids?
A. As long as we have planning permission, that sounds good Pop. Will it be substantially […]

Yes, for the second time in 6 weeks, my never forgetful son lost the key to his Bicycle Lock.
Not the last lock which I had to saw off in Ashford High Street, but the new ‘better model’ which I told him to get.
So whilst waiting for my car to be looked at I thought it […]

In 1960 I was 12 years old and one year into senior School. In 1970, I was 22 years old and getting married.
The years between changed our outlooks and culture perhaps more than any other decade in history.
The 1950’s had seen a fairly set-in view of life. The Country was still getting over a World […]

Our ginger cat (named ‘Ginger’ because we thought it was an unusual name!!) suffers from Milary dermatitis which is basically the same as human dermatitis.
Although in most cases this is brought on by fleas, it would appear that his is probably an allergy as he hasn’t got any. As it always comes on in late […]

Ask this question to any kids under the age of 21 and they’d probably say 40 !
Ask anyone my age (59 at the time of writing) and they probably wouldn’t like to give an answer.
I would say myself that at 59, I’m ‘getting on’ and people I could catagory as ‘old’ are probably the age […]

An age old problem with men is not being able to convince the wife they’re busy (whether you are or not).
The main downfall is at the preparation stage and with careful strategic planning you may be able to at least get some of the way.
Let’s face it, even if they stood over you chopping wood […]

Although I’m a still pimpled 58 year old, I have to confess that my memory is going completely down the drain!
There are things about it I just don’t understand…..
Why can I remember everyone’s name in my school class from 45 years ago, but can’t remember the name of the chap I’m supposed to phone straight […]

This is allegedly an actual job application that a 75-year-old pensioner submitted to B&Q in Tunbridge Wells.
