This is a question Turning into your parents

Unable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?

Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

'Whitby'....
As a kid many an evening was spent with the family watching classic TV such as heartbeat. The main reason for this was we lived in the area where much of it was filmed so spent the whole time trying to spot places we knew.
My dad was always the best at this as he spent alot of time driving around Yorkshire for his work so knew most of the settings straight away and would always say where most scenes were filmed as we were watching.
Fast forward to afew months ago and me and my sister were sat watching an old episode of heartbeat, one particular scene was by the sea and without even thinking i turned to her, nodded knowingly at the screen and said 'Whitby'.
Thats when it hit me I was turning into my dad... I'm only 23.

Admits
I watch Heartbeat because I also used to live near there.
I get all nostalgic :(

My wife used to do that
She used to nudge me a say "I've been there" during various films/documentaries/dramas etc. She gave up as soon as I started doing it. Being fairly well travelled and having lived somewhere that's crawling with film crews most days meant she could not compete :)
