My first memory is sitting in a cot looking at a picture book of cats and my older brother throwing a toy fire engine in on top of me. I also remember having a wee on top of a record player and sparks coming out (of the record player) I think I would have been about two.

The stereotype of getting older and memory loss is, I think, to do with recent memory. My dad, who has Alzhiemers, can't remember what day it is but can tell me how much he paid for his first trip to the pictures, and what the movie was. He was about three or four, and his mum had to take him out because he was laughing so much :)
