I am an honourary life member of the Thames Valley RoSPA group which caters for both bikes and cars. https://roadartvg.org.uk/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Last night I was invited to the 40th anniversary celebrations having been involved with the group since 1981, so the very early days.
A very enjoyable evening was had by all and it was a delight to catch up with members I had lost touch with over the years for various reasons.
What I wasn't ready for was the number of people who came over to say Hi and then reminded me that I was either their tutor, examiner or lecturer for the theory sessions 30+ years ago.
That was when it made me appreciate just how time has moved on and that we are all getting old or are old. I am sure some of them just wanted to remind me out of spite because I gave them a bad grade, but also wanted t show off how good their memory is compared to mine
Now I know I am getting old

Now I know I am getting old
It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next

Re: Now I know I am getting old
Sounds like you deserve you honorary membership. It's good to give your time to help people. So many selfish people out there would benefit from helping other people out instead of just doing their own thing.T.C. wrote:I am an honourary life member of the Thames Valley RoSPA group which caters for both bikes and cars. https://roadartvg.org.uk/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
