    2024/04/29

    Listen to us three 'oldies' as we consider questions such as; is old age all it's smacked up to be? Is dementia on the increase and how to avoid it? Are we living too long? Should we still have plans? Should we be allowed to die on our own terms? Do we get more sociable / grumpy/ intolerant / deaf / impatient when we get older? Why do some oldies have issues with birds, unstretchable trousers, large social gatherings, takeaway food, even older people and ... everything else!
