I think it's a fact that people are if not getting younger, are certainly a younger acting generation than we've ever had before.
People who are now of pensionable age were the first generation to have a 'teen age'. The first generation to have their own youth culture, and not be just younger versions of their parents.
Hell, I know someone who's just qualified for their pension who was a hippy. Smoked dope, popped happy pills, wore a kaftan, rioted against the war in Vietnam in Grosvenor Square, the lot.
They were the first generation who weren't conscripted to go to war. Many now drawing their pension were too young to do National Service.
Today's pensioners are more likely to be at the gym, than sat in the hairdressers, having their grey hair set in rollers.
When you look back at old photographs, and work out how old the people in them are, some of them 'old' people are younger than me, and I'm still going clubbing and dancing on podiums, given the opportunity.
