News for the Elderly


The elderly have always been the butt of Jokes, and ridicule; and often rightly so. Most of us are doddery old fools (not me, of course).

Here is Griff Rhys-Jones demonstrating perfectly how the over 70's are viewed by the under 50's.

  5. Inside that doddering old fool, is the brain and heart of a brilliant adult, always wanting to be treated and talked with as such.

  6. I know several people and an Uncle who is 90 - They are full of life and have busy lives - Young people are usually kindly towards me - I am occasionally called Dear though by shop assistants which I am bemused by - flis x

    1. The only 'check-out girls' who call me 'dear' are OAP's, and they're all lovely.

  7. That's pretty funny. We are all moving in the same direction and there is no stopping that.
    Why can't people just be nice?

  8. Hilarious. I sat next to Hilda this morning at Crafty Club. She is 92 and bright as a button. Up to date with everything that is going on. And I didn't have to shout. In fact I am probably more deaf than she is.
