1. You know all the words of Sussex by the Sea.
2. You have a pair of yellow socks hanging up at home - and not just a pair you/your child brought home once and forgot to take back next term.
3. You have the Foundation Hymn as your ringtone.
4. You have Army of the Nile on the favourites list of your MP3 player of choice.
5. You never miss an occasion. Reunion, OBD, Community Carol Service - you're always there

Feel free to add - let's see what we can come up with!

Out for a drink in an oldfashioned pub? Walking around a historic house? You demonstrate an abnormal interest in the perfect cleanliness and brightness of the brass doorknobs and window catches. Tssk!

Inability to understand why people in unusual attire are considered eccentric.

Whenever you see a certain set of digits your reaction is 'Ooh, that's me'

Brought to you by your friend aka 614

You can't bear to pass sign's with inappropriately positioned apostrophe's without correcting them!

You've had a go at replicating Sausage Hotpot - but it's never quite the same...

New shoes. (Excitedly) new shoes! (State of rapture) NEW SHOES !

You are served a disgusting fish dish. It occurs to you to smuggle out the worst of it and bury it in your garden.

You see a lovely big stone. You want to polish it with shoepolish ready to dance around it come Midsummer.

Smoking? You have to go to the top of a tall deserted building and puff out of the window.

You rejoice that nobody else previously has been allocated your underwear!

You realise that you are a CH Geek, never mind "might be".

You have used your house number(s) on a lottery ticket.

You DON'T lick the end of your thread before threading a needle. (You should lick your fingers and draw the thread between them.)

When sewing, you carefully pull out the tacking thread and use it a second time.

You open all the windows when everyone else wants the heating on because they feel cold and you don't.

You tie your socks together - all the time!

Doesn't everyone? And you save odd bits of embroidery thread to use for tacking.And never a clean sheet of paper if the back of an old letter will do.

When it was on BBC 1....you had to watch lunchtime neighbours not the evening one

Sorry that just means you are pregnant, you were asleep by the time the evening one came on.
