Does anything about DoND or this forum make you feel old?

Some of the things that make me feel old are:


- The fact that all the young-middle aged contestants from 15-20 years ago are now in their mid 40s - early 60s, and that the elderly characters beloved by the "forumites" are likely no longer with us, sadly.

- The fact that, as a forumite at least, I appear to have suddenly turned into someone who hasn't aged a day past 2014.

The fact(s) that...

• I'm now 38 (and a half), and Glenn Hugill - born Feb 1970 - was only 35 when DoND started!
• Inflation (particularly in the last five years of course) means £250k today is the equivalent of about £138k when DoND started.
• I used VHS tapes to record DoND for the first five years or so until the Freeview switchover happened.
• The long 'stalks' on the money paddles on the on-screen gameboard were (apparently) originally designed like that to cater for people who still had 4:3 TVs.
