You have taken me too literally Less....that isn't quite what I meant.
I meant that in the past people of 40 looked like they were in their sixties....nowadays people of 60 act and dress like they are in their 40's(I know it is a great hunking generalisation).

The government must believe that 60 is the new 40...they are wanting the oldies who have jobs, to stay in them for a lot longer.......how daft is that...they should be asking the older folk to sign up to an earlier retirement to give the young folk a chance to work.

Anyway Hope your birthday is going with a swing.
