When you are telling a coworker your first airplane ride was on Pan Am and they say "Pan what?....I've never heard of that airline."

I get the same reaction when I mention having flown on BOAC. Even many young Brits have never heard of it.

Pronounced Bow Wak if my memory serves me well.

Gordon Barlow

I don't remember that. Maybe from the same people who pronounced Qantas as "quaint-arse"?

Wonder what the reaction would be if you said you had flown on Court Line, Dan Air, British Eagle or Britannia Airways.

My first flight was on Canadian Pacific.

When everything hurts whenever you move.

When they don't ask you for your ID at the checkout when buying booze.

When men stop flirting with you!

I crashed with Dan Air once if that counts.

Even worse when you ask for the senior discount and don't get asked for ID.

Which one they had a few.

Even WORSE if you don't ask for the discount , but get it automatically

….. When your new GP asks you what medications you're on, meaning ones that you take every day, long term, and then appears shocked when you reply "none".

... The first time you walk halfway to your chair with the milk-jug, having already put your cup of tea in the fridge. Only the first time, mind; after that you just shrug it off and try to think of a way you can make it your wife's fault.

I really do mourn the days when I used to get carded at the liquor store!

Do GP records not get transferred when changing quacks?
