How about "Ring Off!"?
I thought that was the expression used in the UK...

For most of my purchases, I pay cash. The bank note type of cash
I sailed with officers in their early thirties, who did not know what the term "bank note" meant.
AKA "money".
I have always kept a couple of travelers checks in my glove box for emergencies like losing my billfold. I asked at the bank a while back if I needed to cash them in since they are so rarely seen any more. She laughed and said exactly what you just did. "They're still good, but good luck finding a place that will know what they are let alone cash them for you."Most cashiers in businesses today couldn’t tell you what a Travelers Check is or properly identify one.

Eunice Gayson may have been 90 but Sylvia Trench is forever 34. Farewell beautiful lady, you could never be old.Eunice Gayson, who has died aged 90, was an actor with a film, television and theatre career that spanned several decades. Despite this, she will be forever associated with her unique place in cinema history as the first Bond girl.

I know I must be getting freakin' old because;
I've never considered myself as being doddery but recent experience has shown I'm wrong. My old man was doddery, even at my current age, put him in a supermarket & the old boy was lost.
Well,I've had the pleasure of my 24 year old daughter's company this past week & the speed at which she lives leaves me breathless. The confidence & ease she has with new technology is astounding.
The crunch came this lunchtime though. I haven't set foot in a fast food joint in at least 10 years, though I have used the drive thru occasionally on long drives. Since recent events found us in the vicinity of a Mcdo's & as my daughter was hungry, in we went. WTF !!!.....the place was packed with youngsters all under 30 & all the buzzing activity made me dizzy but the worst was that we had to order via large touch screens. By the time I had realized what was happening, my daughter had ordered at lightening speed & skillfully directed my bank card towards the slot.......I felt very, very old & completely lost & had to admit I have become what I never wanted to be, a doddering fart & that old fella I see in the mirror may actually be me.
Fortunately the service was vintage as we had to wait 10 minutes for our order.
You would love old Germany. Daily life is still so much 90s, here!
90s is old?
You know you're getting old when the first thing you have to do when you wake up is press hard on your eyes to manually bring them into focus.
