Suddenly there is all this hype of how one can live to a great old age.
Every type of media, from TV and radio to magazines and newspapers, is telling us to eat seven and more of something, take these pills, jump, run, hop or drink a foul-tasting green fluid and you’ll live so much longer.
For what? To become invisible in public? Ignored, isolated, lonely and alone because caring friends have long gone?
Or perhaps abused in a care home?
No, thank heavens for gin and tonic!
