Thread Name: BS: the secret of longevity
Subject: RE: BS: the secret of longevity
My great grandad reached 90 back in the mid 1960s.

The family attributed his longevity to a daily tot of navy rum,
Who knows how long he might have gone on for if he hadn't fallen and broke his hip...???

He holds the record in our family.
No other men in my immediate family have made it to 70.
Or women past 80.

However, my mum is 85 and despite first stages of dementia is going on ok....
