Things that made me smile part 1

Buying a tea towel at the Brecon mountain railway gift shop that reads

"A Senior Citizen is one who was here before;

the pill, television, frozen foods,

contact lenses, credit cards .....

and before man walked on the moon.

For us, "Time Sharing" meant togetherness,

not holiday homes,

and a "chip" meant a piece of wood.

"Hardware" meant nuts and bolts,

and "Software" wasn't even a word.

We got married first, then lived together,

and thought cleavage was something butchers did.

A "stud" was something that fastened a collar to a shirt,

and "going all the way" meant

staying on a double decker to the bus depot.

We thought "fast food" was what you ate in Lent;

a "Big Mac" was an oversized raincoat

and "crumpet" we had for tea.

In our day; "grass" was mown,

"pot" was something you cooked in,

"coke" was kept in the coal house and

a "joint" was cooked on Sundays!

We are today's SENIOR CITIZENS.

A hardy bunch when you think

how the world has changed!
