I have just stopped seeing my father's image whenever I look at a mirror. Now it is my Grandad. So it got me thinking when are you old. I think my mother is old, as she is 100, but she thinks all the other residents in her sheltered accomodation are old. This despite her being by far the oldest. My kids have thought I am old for many years. So I put it to you when are you old?

My brain thinks I am 40. In the mornings my back is about 80 but during the day it gets younger until it reaches about 50. My knees are about 40, knuckles on left hand about 75. Left ankle was 65 after I fell off the caravan step but now getting younger, thank goodness. As for eyes and hearing, not sure.

You are old if you can remember the advert on the trams/buses of 'IDRIS when IS DRI'.

My youngest granddaughter's birthday is next week. She says she will be 6 years old.

Most people's perception of the age when somebody is considered old is 10 years older than they themselves are at any given time.
