You still refer to

 

The EU as "The Common Market"

You "tape" programs, rather than "record" them

You refer to the internet as "The Global Superhighway"

When you tell someone you've copied something to disk, you use air quotes, when you say "burnt".

You use the expression "English Rose" to pretext your frequent discussions and references to Princess Diana

I know, but the ageing that happens whilst  watching them tumble and fall.....pick themselves up, dust themselves off..........(whilst hiding in the background)....ages you....
