Elderly WHAT!!!! fxck off!

Okay, we get it.

I am however a grandmother. My children always called me mumbells G Fish at my request because I was sick of hearing mum, mum, mum. I am now a Grandbells G fish and squabble with my grandson and play pranks on him. He is 8 and in many ways older than me. I worked as a professional until aged 67 and only left as I could not stand the PC (ness) of it all and the endless paperwork. Now walk mountains, read and read and play with my like minded friends.

And, are you different from the rest of us?

Oooh, actually, I bought some pearls last week! Ooh no!

I fear the Crocs are a giveaway.

I’ve got Snoopy and Charlie Brown on my Crocs

I wouldn't be seen dead in a pair of crocs!

I have never liked Crocs or pearls.

Have to agree !

Good for you. Enjoy your non elderly life

Get the picture!

They are great to slip on and go in the garden

I think you mean chronologically, not chronically. Anyway you sound distinctly unpleasant.

My hair never died either.

Hink2, why don't you say what you really think ?
don't be shy now. it's good to share.

Wear crocs [grin)]

Fail!

Another silly post based on the mistaken assumption that a word means something it doesn't. Given the average age of death is a little over 80, 70 is on the old side, therefore anyone who is seventy is elderly.

Why do people assume themselves insulted if someone else thinks they're old? Comparatively speaking they are and no amount of swearing and boasting makes an iota of difference.

In my view the OP is an active (and apparently stroppy – long may it last ?) elderly person. What's the problem?

Swear away, Hink2!

We are we fixating on Crocs, and not ‘Grandbells G Fish’ (nee Mumbells G Fish)?

I fear Hink2 is not making the impression they were aiming for. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m just going to put my second best pearls on and go for a walk and I won’t be wearing hideous sweaty crocs.

I live in a street occupied mainly by retired people from 60 to 90 and have a couple dozen friends across that age range. Plenty of decorating, TV watching and gardening goes on and jeans, crocs and trainers are commonplace.

Sex and travel, likewise. Don’t you meet anyone your own age? I wore twinsets and pearls 40 years ago, mostly in the office, and it never held me back.

crocs? no way but at 81 i own and still wear my 3 pairs of dms! i thought all of us so called 'elderly' people wore jeans, without feeling the need to shout (or swear) about it

A distinct whiff of plimsolls!

Why is everyone focussing on the Crocs?!
The OP is a veritable smorgasbord of interesting titbits

I doubt anyone really cares about what you think or do.We have one life and should make it the best it can be for ourselves.
