Turning into your parentsUnable 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

15 years agoMe and a group of school friends were sat around a table in our local pub. We were comparing recent purchases from the big-brand shops in town.
"These jeans?" said Chris. "100 quid"
We all looked on in awe at the expensive clothing. I could only afford cheap jeans.
Roll forwards to about six months ago, just before I left for Japan. The same group of friends sat around the same table in the same pub.
"Nice T-Shirt" says Chris, pointing at my funky attire.
"Thanks" I replied. "Three quid from the Moss Bros sale, 90% off!"
Chris and the others cooed as one, we all nodded our heads for a while before supping our nut-brown ales in quiet celebration of my shopping prowess.
*sigh*

Was your mate still wearing his expensive jeans? Had they lasted the distance? Had they represented good value after all? And, can you come back in 15 years and let us know how your t-shirt fares please.
