The 1980s are not yet 'vintage'. I may sometimes feel 'vintage' but I am not. Neither is anything else produced from 1980 onwards.

So what would you call vintage?

[impulsereader]

Well, without dragging in the distinction between antique and vintage (because the website which prompted the annoyance does not do so), 60s and earlier.

Am I vintage as I was born in 1967?

(if so that makes Mark Gatiss also of that ilk as he is a year my senior).

[impulsereader]

I consider you to be of the very best vintage. 1967 was apparently a good year. :-)

I live surrounded by wine country, where a vintage is just another year. :-)

I don't know, vintage makes me feel expensive...though it does mean I'm officially old enough to put in a museum.

Now that I've been forced to think about it a bit this may be more of an eyeroll about things which were built to last and those that were not. Craftsmanship. *off to the newly-discovered antique shop*

antiques - worth all the money appraisers assign them, or second-hand stuff no one else wants? :-)

I've thought the same thing watching the Antiques Roadshow, so many times.

Ha! The Frasier episode where it turns out that all three of the Crane men enjoy watching the Antiques Roadshow is fabulous.
