76 and still going strong. I have been round the Go-Ape tree assault course in Cannock Chase Forest twice in the last year.

Age is state of mind. Think old and you are old.

Being at the extremity of old age, I have no desire to accept gifts from the devil.

That is so true Staffyknot, I was born in Brereton and lived at Etching Hill till I was 9 so I remember walking through the cannock Chase a lot. Just mention the name and I smell pine!!

I'm 65, hate routine and only remember my age when my back gives me jip gardening!! :-S

me I am 40 and a big bit lol

Its all in the state of mind tho some are old fogies at 30.

Our grown grandchildren know that nan can banter with the best of them and know what they are talking about too .

As far as searching is concerned some of us have the knack of looking outside the box . Its, too me ,just as satisfying finding info for others as it is when I had BINGO moments on my own searches . As am back to parish records on most sides of my tree and not in the area they came from then helping others is satisfying :-D

Kay ??? . That is such a nice thing to say, and goes to prove that age does not define the person. I honestly do not feel any different in my head than I did thirty years ago.

I am going to copy Porkie Pie and will be twenty-one from now on :-D :-D

Old age is just something we all grow into.

Harry Report 25 Apr 2013 19:27

I am 80. As i don't live near a bus stop, I got on a bus for the first time in perhaps 40 years.

I automatically went to the foot of the stairs and then remembered my age. So I sat with the old fogies.

Happy days

I'm 62 and wondering if I'll ever grow up :-D

Don't laugh..... I did belly dancing until quite recently! Had to stop because of the arthritis........ but mostly because my belly kept moving when I stopped dancing.

:-D
