Yes! I hope I can still manage the occasional jump at 80 too.

Some cold mornings I FEEL like I'm 80, does that count?

I can't prove his age but anecdotally he was 83 when he died (I saw him myself but did not hear his age first hand) about three years ago. He did a few in Bristol by me including the local shops. He was 83 when he died and was still working at the time.

He had an old Astra estate (the very first ones that replaced the chevette "A" reg. I think) and his wife would go out with him but sit in the car all the time.

He didn't have his own house but rumour has it that he still left £250K in his will.
It's a game of three halves!

there is an old boy who works near me who was 82 last year. he is useless all his shops are filthy, but the punters won't part with him.

there is an estate agent who had a big bum print right in the middle of the window, they were adamant that the old boy came every week so i went back for the next few weeks to point out the bum print, they still didn't budge.

hope i can find loyalty like that
if it is dirty it is fair game
