Dunno if this is a proper definition of old but I worked at a high school today and most of the teachers were younger than me.
This is the first time I have actually felt old.

That's not old, I was working in a school staff room last Friday and ALL the teachers were younger than me, so was the site agent. Now that IS old.

I work in a place where quite a few of the staff were taught by me...including at least one on this group!

You'll find age doesn't come alone either.

Well, it also seems to occur to one when you attempt to point out to the mainly young managers at a council that their brave new ideas were tried when you were young and found not to work, but do they bow to experience.. No of course not. So wheel reinvented square...... again.

I found the opposite attitude during a spell (some years ago) at t= he training school at BREL Derby Loco Works. Of course, at that time most o= f the managers were mainly older men, and their standard reply to anyone su= ggesting new ideas would be either 'We've never done anything like THAT bef= ore' or 'it's been tried but it didn't work' The folks down the road at the railway technical centre were of course more= willing to accept change, and were busy designing the APT...

And your prime minister and your boss and ....
Was at a conference in Reno in July and they gave seniors discount to over 55s. Was glad I had my Aussie DL with DOB writ large on me!

DOB is also found on a UK driving licence. Just slightly muddled up.

SWMBO'd is years older.
Is this what they mean by "middle aged"?

Age can be judged by how long it takes to urinate, though that probably only applies to men!

Which turned out to be a flop.
Can you wrap you lines properly BTW? It is possible with Gurgle Groups AFAIK.

Until they sold the design to the Italians, who now sell an updated version to British train operators.
