What makes you feel old?

I milled some timber from a fallen tree with my chainsaw. I felt old when I had to move the planks and drag them to the road to load them on my EV side by side buggy to bring them back to my shed.
They only weighed about 80 kg but it was a struggle to drag them about 20 metres, then load them onto the tray of the side by side.
I was thinking that being 70 now is taking its toll
 
You're just a kid, I remember Bill & Ben, The Woodentops, and Bagpuss. 😂
I remember Bill and Ben, maybe it was a rerun?

The Golden Shit with Bob Monkhouse.
Magic Roundabout.
Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley.
Mr Ben, Bagpuss, Fingerbobs. Mary, Mungo and Midge.

Chorlton and the Wheelies, made by Cosgrove Hall in Chorlton, Manchester. They also made Danger Mouse and Count Duckula.

The site of the original studio on Albany Road is now retirement flats called Cosgrove Hall Court.

Other TV I remember, Z cars, The Liver Birds, Man About The House, Dick Emery. Larry Grayson, Shut That Door! Brucie doing the Generation Game first series (very early 70s?). My Grandad watched all that stuff.

Oh and Pans People on TOTP. Eyes out of his head, the ....... Talking of which, Steptoe and Son!

Food I remember, Arctic Roll, Cresta, Vesta, Smash, Angel Disgust, Texan bar, Space Dust (later). Cornetto I remember Mum buying one in 1976 for the exorbitant price of 18p.
