Surely that would have the opposite effect on ones immune system ?

Odd innit. I bet there were thousands of people deliberately advancing their age to get priority in the early supermarket queue. :-)

I'm sorting out a stone age outfit, and later on, some DIY, I have a chunk of wood and a bag of rusty nails to hammer in the end, for hunting. :0)

That occurred to me teacake44! HIrdressers and nail bars will be rammed! So will gyms, clothes, shoes and make up shops.
As to ‘elderly’ question, I think the nearer you get the more you push it forward! I believe at a sprightly 73 that elderly is around 80. If I get to that age it will be 85! I know some 90+ ladies who I never consider old. State of mind.

I’ve never done it yet retro and don’t intend to , I have ‘minions’ doing it for us , lol

[retrocop]

Lol. I have stepped out once in three weeks. That one time I went to Tescos at normal opening. We are surviving on the 'Fruits of Love' but I keep slipping on the discarded skins. :-)

Your date of birth is embedded in your driving license. See 4b.

Thought some one said we were no longer in the E/U , think it was called brexit , or something like that, so why this post ?.

Gulliver even you must realise the date is DECEMBER 31st????? Then we leave the bully’s

[gulliver1]

I thought the date was april 13th.

Elderly have less time left (or average) than the rest. I suspect they're happy to tell the EU what they think of that suggestion and plump for quality of life over longevity.

[Old_Geezer]

Middle age starts at 60 ???? Even if the middle of middle age was 60 that'd imply an expectation to live until 120. If middle age only starts then presumably it lasts until 120 when another 60 years of old age means the average age of death must be 180. Science must be getting breakthroughs faster than I realised.

[pixie374]

Middle age starts about 15 years older than whatever I am at the time :-)

Gulliver I suppose that’s as witty as it gets with you?

[teacake44]

I would have thought they would have let us out of jail first, less pension to pay out, should we not make. :0)

[Bobbisox1]

I think there’s a ‘cull’ happening :0/

[teacake44]

Or keep us locked down, knowing we will go stir crazy, keep the medication delivery on the ball, just in case we decide on harry carry.:0)

"Gulliver even you must realise the date is DECEMBER 31st????? Then we leave the bully’s " - bobbi, we left on jan 31st, we have given ourselves a deadline of 31/12 to agree a trade deal.

[Bobbisox1]

Yeah but I like to get Gully to say he’s right I’m wrong, makes my day

Thanks TTT
