Some of them are a bit of a judgement call. There's always a pack of tissues in the car but for cleaning the inside of the windscreen - well that and clearing up the blood when CDB restarts. So I had to say yes but don't think that's what they meant

20) Complaining about the rubbish on television these days - yep, why do you think he has the pub whistle:
21) Gasping for a cup of tea - last blood test results just said 'Tetleys'
22) Getting bed socks for Christmas and being very grateful - only if the YFHT had knitted them
23) Taking a keen interest in The Antiques Road Show - now this is probably never going to happen
24) When you start complaining about more things - Shocked:
25) Listening to the Archers - used to
26) You move from radio one to radio two - Yep
27) Joining the National Trust - was a member before we came here
28) Being told off for politically incorrect opinions - Shocked:

39) Spending more money on face creams/anti-aging products - uses mine Shocked:
40) Preferring a Sunday walk to a lie in - dependent on the location of the aforesaid YFHT
