I'm afraid I never said a farewell.

What scares me is, babies that were born in the year I finished High School (18 Yrs old in South Africa) and now graduating from High School...

Now that makes me feel old...

When I lived in Leeds before I left for uni and then got married, I used to babysit for family members. At the time, none were older than 5. Now they have all had their 18 and 21st birthdays, and I feel like a fossil!!

Nothing like the passage of time, and birthdays of younger family members to make you feel old!!

And my stepson, does not know what vinyl is.. he only remembers CDs.... now that makes both Mike and I feel really old!!!

Next we'll be talking about whether we're old enough to remember 78s or just 33s and 45s.

I still have Never Mind the Bollocks on vinyl and the single for Anarchy in the UK. I still remember watching TV in Black and White. My nieces honestly believe I made that up!!!

I was born in 1978, although I had a b/w TV until I went to uni

I was 5 in 1978, but I don't think that's what Benny was talking about ...

I vaguely remember 78 records. I used to listen to the records in my parents collection and my dad had a few original Buddy Holly records in 78 format. I thought they sounded odd, when I played them at 45 !!!! Soon learnt to twiddle the speed knob though and then got into Buddy Holly music !!!

Yeah, you're right. That's how I know of them... my parents had some old record players that had a 78 speed setting on them, whereas all the new (well new at the time) only had 33 and 45 speeds!
