Old people are going away!

Re: Old people are going away!

Wearing tweeds seems to be a sign of getting old, unless you're a member of the country set.

Pipe smoking used to be another, but even that isn't catching on with 40 somethings these days in the way it once did.

They're all in M & S. You can't move for them.

So true this is definetly the shop to find them,in the food hall department.

There are a lot of over 60,s now they dress more trendier,than our parents relatives did.
I remember my dad dressing old when he was in his forties,striped suits,wooly waistcoats,bracersflat caps or trilbies etc.
My mum used to wear granny dresses and cardigans when she was in her 40,s,hence making her older than she really was.
How times have changed if you dress young and trendy,then you stay young at heart which is important

Valid point Rich

They used to turn into proper little old people once they got to like late thirties onwards but the present crop just keeps going - when you think about even Saga holidays nowadays have like punk disco's instead of afternoon tea dances so it must be down to healthier lifestyle/diet that keeps them going

Re: Old people are going away!

I've always consider by Gran old, but my parents are nearly as old as her when I was young, but don't seem nearly as old.

A while back my Dad was quoting that the average 80 year old today is as fit as someone 60 years old was 60 years ago.

Think you're right Hug - time is moving on

Give it a decade or two and they'll be wheeling what's left of us ( DYR people ) out like a load of Chelsea pensioners for parades etc

Re: Old people are going away!

Maybe thats because you are now one of them?

at 6 years old anyone over 50-60 seems old to them , so next time you stop to have a gander in a shop window, you'll know exactly what that little passer by is thinking!






must be pension day

Have you noticed as you go through life that , as you gain maturity, there seems fewer and fewer oldies ?

When I was a schoolboy and teenager there seemed to vast hordes of them like running the country or just blocking uo the streets by gawping into shop windows but now theres a lot less for some reason
