When I get old and wear purple... I want an electric scooter and run all the shoppers over too!! I want furry seat and large airhorn, wing mirrors, pennant saying 'ageing hippie' and a basket on the back to carry the guitar and concertina. Plus a trailer on the back for the dog!! Can I ride up the wrong side of the road, pretty please, and on the road at 4mph. On the hard shoulder of motorways... oh yess. Im growing old disgracefully, I have been since I turned 50. And... I want a retirement home that caters for 'hippie old-codgers'-plenty of Kumbaya, and not sit in rows and stare at the telly. They have got to do better for us in our dotage.
