I am not a number .... I am a free man ..........

You are lucky I have not been made a freeman yet
Age, not man.

You're not, in my opinion, 85 years old ..... you have just got 85 years of experiences which we all can learn from.

Three years ago my resting pulse rate was around 42, then I stopped running due to hip/groin injury. For the last two years its been 20 beats per minute more, ie. 62, although blood pressure is still spot on. I don't like it being higher than I am used to, so after a ten mile run today my first proper one since my injury, I can hopefully soon get it down nearer to what it used to be.
After reading recent posts I feel like a youngster, and hope I can do what you still do Ern, Oldun and Geo when I catch up with you.

I think that the reason 70 and 80 year olds have more get up and go than the generations below, is because we grew up during the war years when life was tough, we had to make our own amusements, food was rationed and in short supply. I know that by the time I reached the age of 8 yrs old my experiences had made me a lot older mentally than I should have been. When we got older, married and had children, we swore that our kids should never have to go through the life we had endured. So we spoilt our kids by giving them everything we possibly could. This made our kids generation soft, both physically and mentally. In turn their kids got spoilt rotten, so grew up even softer. The namby pamby generation we have now is directly our own fault: the oldies: and we have only ourselves to blame for the state our country is in now.
