My mother said, of John Paul II, "Forget policemen looking young. I know I'm old when the Pope looks young !"
Me, I first felt ancient when I saw the bus, which I used to travel in every day, in the Transport Museum. When did that happen? I don't remember it going out of service ! And children are a great for that type of observation "It hasn't got seat belts" said my daughter, aged 22, on seeing a car model I once owned, up for auction in France. Surely she remembers seat belts coming in. It can only have been a few years ago (can't it?)
