You're younger than me then! I was finishing my degree in 1972.When the young person serving you coffee is wearing a "Narrabundah College, 2017" sweater and you tell her that you were a "Narrabundah High School, 1972".
sigh................
... when you realise that almost all of the artists on your car playlist are actually dead now! ....
You spring chicken.In 1972 I was already working as a medical registrar.You're younger than me then! I was finishing my degree in 1972.
My take is when you realise that almost all of the artists on your car playlist are actually dead now! Jim Croce, Peter Sarsted, half the Beatles, Leonard Cohen etc etc

When everyone calls you Sir! I've become that old person....
The young (compared to me) staff at the CBA entrance, counters and teller positions appear to have been instructed to call everyone by their christian names (as soon as the name appears on their screen).

Any business whose rep calls me Mr RooFlyer has a much, much better chance of getting or continuing my business compared to the same type of business whose rep calls me by my first name without my invitation to do so. I always call someone unfamiliar to me as Mr or Ms or Mrs the first time, especially if they are older than me. Even if they correct me to use their first name, it puts the relationship on a good footing.
