Cross-generational cultural references - don't bother

I am what used to be called a 'man of a certain age.' I'm 61 in June, in other words.

Yesterday, as I loaded my Waitrose van for my regular Monday morning route, the young lass (age 23) from admin who puts up the daily rota, sorts out all the admin, etc, came out with a bottle of champagne and a bunch of flowers.

"This is for Mrs Basterfield, it's her 100th order today, and we're giving her something as a thank you. We need you to present her with these when you do her drop this morning."

Well, well, if I'd known that was going to happen, I'd have brought my kazoo, given her a fanfare as I present them. Then again, given this is Waitrose, perhaps Fanfare for the Common Man probably isn't all that appropriate.

Pause.

"Is that by The Smiths?"
