  • I turned 50 in September 2004 & I think my generation is incredibly lucky. We had the benefit of a reasonable diet when we were growing up, unlike the war babies, so in general our long term health is better.
    Nice if it were true - the evidence is that diet during WW2 and until the end of rationing was extremely healthy. Boring, but healthy ;)
    I think on retirement everyone should be issued with the sticker that says
    "Retired and spending the kids inheritance" :j

    I am a volunteer now, helping people with physical and learning disabilities , to get the best that they are able out of life, by helping others i have learned so many new and exciting things and often converse with and present to the future workforce in our health and social services sector
