You remember all too clearly how incredibly wealthy you felt when an uncle or an aunt gave you a half-crown or, wonder of wonders, a 10/- note and then you realise how very, very little such sums will buy nowadays.

Or 4 pints for 10 bob - not that I ever bought 4 pints....... My dad would have had something to say about that.

I don't wish to be disrespectful to King George VI's contenmporaries but I wonder at what point you realise that you are getting beyond middle age.
I could mention the word 'menopause'.It's been appearing in the graun a lot recently.
