Do you remember your youth? Do you remember being told off by mum and dad? Did mum ever say "you'll grow out of it".
What are the things that you were supposed to have grown out of but never did?
For me there are two things:
1. Loud music (I now get my children telling me to turn it down).
2. HP sauce with everything - my opinion is that EVERY meal can be improved with the addition of HP sauce.

I still can't resist blowing bubbles in any liquid drunk through a straw. Milk was best - you could fill the glass with half an inch in the bottom of the glass.
Asthma - sort of maybe.
Spam sarnies - no, still love them.
Not grown out of it: Thunderbirds, Marmite
....sure I'll think of some more later....
Perhaps one of the girls / ladies can explain to me why its not funny? Have you never seen the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles?
Grew out of it though, probably about the same time as the BBC1 controller thought he'd had his day.
Stragely enough I used to wear tracksuits nearly all the time as a lad, when playing football etc. I have no idea why I thought this was in the slightest bit trendy.
I'm with you on Radio 1 LF. Haven't listened to that since Sara Cox got the breakfast show. Anyway, i'm 26 so am officially older than their target audience.
