Okay then... ... So where do u find these facebook groups I've never seen one

OK, in the search bar on Facebook type 'When I was your age' and you should see a few examples.

The idea is something which was around when you were younger but is no longer around today. So you could say to a kid, 'when I was your age....'.

It's only funny when you use something everyone's heard of and that was a big thing in its time but kinds today might not have heard of, or at least in a few years time, hence the Woolworths example, (to those outside the UK: Woolworths was a big retailer that went bust last year). In fact a lot of them might only be relevant to those in the UK.

So posting stuff like, 'there was no electricity' or something, misses the point. Perhaps the whole thing would only be humorous to slightly older people, which would probably explain some of the misguided replies.


Here's one, 'When I was your age, there were only four TV channels' .

Oh well like I said,

... a lot of them might only be relevant to those in the UK. ...

I don't understand the second part of your post but I won't be discussing it.

Garion's Pluto example is perfect btw. Most of us grew up being taught that Pluto was the furthest planet from the Sun in our galaxy, but it has since been downgraded .

It went way off-topic, but invincible refuses to close it, thus why it got moved here.

I suppose 'In my time there was a store called wolsworth' is more of a statement that a joke, so you're right.
