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

Timely question
as I am indeed contemplating my agedness today. This week I have listened to Radio 2 more than Radio 1. I'm 31. Help. Or am I actually too old for Radio 1 these days? I only really listen to Chris Moyles anyway. I steadfastly refuse to listen to The Today Programme on Radio 4 as that really is *too* much like my mum. As I type this I am listening to Sounds of the 60s on Radio 2!
I find "noisy" pubs unbearable, don't like going to pubs where I can't sit down (but I've been like that since I was 20), I fall asleep in front of the telly and dribble (sexy I know), snore like a hippo (like my dad), buy quite middle aged clothing for work, comfy shoes, own slippers, keep newspapers "just in case", ditto carrier bags, I moan about the price of meat and spent last weekend criticising the lack of clothing of youngsters in town - are they not cold???
I complain about poor grammar, lack of manners displayed in public, tinny music on mobile phones on buses/Tube etc.
What's all this about thongs - I like big knickers - at least I know where they are!
However I would be quite happy to turn into my mum, other than her dodgy dancing. My dad on some fronts but not others. My Dad has been a brilliant dad (he's actually my stepdad but is far superior in every way to my biological dad)and does have some fab Gene Hunt tendencies :)
