How true, well several of them for me! I’m 71 next, and I’m trying to lose another stone in weight to come under the weight limit allowed for a wing walk on a biplane......

My Dad did that and I do too. He also managed to create more shelf space by attaching the jar lids to the underside of shelves. You unscrewed the actual jar to get to the contents leaving the lid attached to the shelf. Brilliant.

My dear old Dad used to drink camp coffee not much good for keeping nut's and bolt's in though.
As for feeling your age I'm 68 now and have just bought a T shirt that reads "Born to be Wild--but only till about 9pm"

Cheers Ian
