Hi M,   I think Cilla was referring to an old age accompanied by perhaps dementia, or some crippling condition.

Not a lot to look forward to I suppose, and one does get a little "world weary", society seems to get more dumb every year, children more poorly educated, no idealism left, huge unemployment and drug problems for the young, no alternative to the media control we see around us.

We were the last free generation I think, and we blew it.
I'm 70 M and still working hard but I think 75 would be fine.....if I don't fall off a roof first!    :0)
Congrats on being so eloquent in your advanced years....keep on rollin'.
