✔ .... Oh dear what a sad lot we are and I'm so in that group too.

True, but as I always say to people who moan about their getting old, and the consequences thereof .... there's only one alternative to 'getting old', and I personally regard the 'getting old' as being easily the more desirable of the two alternative, despite the downsides

30 years on the tools wears you out!

A few decades (30 years is 'nothing'!) on ones feet, or even 'at a desk', can take its toll, too

As one of my customers put it (He was a retired Electrician, I did not know him until he became a customer) I rewired his home. He had some disabilities made worse or caused by his age.

"Ebee, old age can be a terrile thing but it`s a lot better than the alternative!"

PS - He didn`t call me Ebee just by my real name.
