    Time for everyone to stop hyping up the Mediterranean diet for longevity and move over to the UK diet.

    She said the secret to her longevity was “never arguing with anyone, I listen and I do what I like”.

    Imagine being from the UK, seeing not one but TWO world wars that involved your country directly and living to 115! Fuck, the stories she probably has and events she witnessed first hand, which we only read about, would be the kind of stuff I’d love to find a way to preserve!

      Based on the last picture I saw of him, she might actually think he looks too old.
