old and wise


Recommended Posts

I did a fencing job for an old couple today.I'd of guessed they were in there early 70's,turns out the old fella will be 95 in a fortnight and his missus was 90 :icon_eek: He made me a bacon sarnie and a cuppa,and i spoke to him for a good hour.It was eye openening,he told me he bought the house when it was built in 1938 for £530 and had lived there ever since,its now valued at £175000.He was also telling me how him and his mates would cycle from the midlands to skegness (about 110 miles) after work on a friday,for a weekend by the sea,and then cycle back on the monday.It just shows how times have changed,i wouldn't imagine there are many snotty teenagers who'd be happy to cycle a 100 miles for a weekend in a tent.I told him about me dogs,and stuff,and he asked if he could come lamping with me one night! He told me he walked at least 3 miles everyday,and had given up smoking when he was 82,cos the doctor said it was bad for him :clapper: When i asked him how he managed to look so well at 94 he told me "everything in moderation son,have a drink every night,and plenty of sex" :clapper::clapper:
