   My Grandma is going to sell her flat. It’s in one of those managed accommodation places, you know, for old people. Everything about it is beige polyester slacks and Daily Mail Sunday Supplement porcelain figurines, all very old person stuff.

   Then I look at the other flats there listed on Rightmove and it’s for the over 50s. I’m going to be 50 soon!

     @aegir I turned fifty a few years back, imagine my absolute fricking horror when I started getting emails and marketing from Saga 😂

     @aegir @JamieR direct from TENA. Maybe a coincidence but a voucher came through the door about a week after my birthday. Here's a link. IF you're tempted to treat someone special. DONT. https://www.latestfreestuff.co.uk/free-health-and-beauty/free-tena-coupon-worth-8-50/

     @aegir @JamieR A male friend who'd just had a horrible health scare got targeted advertising about funeral plans for his 60th birthday. I think I prefer the knickers.

     @aegir I wonder how successful their advertising campaign was in the end.

     @aegir there are so many stereotypes in advertising. Mothers day cards are all pink, with pictures of kittens in baskets playing with flowers. Father's day ones are blue and have motorbikes and pints of beer. Has no one in advertising ever met a parent?

     @CloudyMrs I went for a hearing test in my 20s and for years afterwards I was getting advertising through the post full of photos of silver haired people enjoying full auditory clarity in their autumn years. 🙄 Not as bad as that though!

     @aegir ahh, these are the sexy pishy knickers, not the old lady ones. The story they're trying to sell has flaws.

     @CloudyMrs Feels like something you buy out of necessity? It’s not like they need any more brand awareness is it?

     @aegir I didn't take the knickers. I try not to laugh, just in case. #pishypants

     @CloudyMrs I genuinely laughed out loud at that
