    Hi, there :beer: As this isn't strictly Old Style, I'll move it over to the Green and Ethical Board, where it will make a great subject for discussion :T

    Also I hope being frugal and aging well are linked.......the lady looks amazing at 64. If thats the case I should be getting younger instead of older
    She looks fantastic.........especially in that swimming pool, what a brilliant idea!

    All highly laudable, but I am not sure her green credentials are quite all she thinks they are:

    If I see wood thrown away I take it,' she said. 'When it rots it emits the same amount of carbon as when you burn it, so you might as well get the use out of it.
    '

    Errr. I dont think so love!

    And if you take stuff from skips/building sites isnt it classed as theft?

    I can't find anything concrete to suggest theft in the UK, but this link suggests it might be over in USA :confused: There's a bit of a debate here about that article which raises good points for either view.

    Hopefully somebody will be able to find something a bit better on it :confused:
