What a shame

My granda lived until he was 97 and said his one bottle of Guinness a day was the reason why lol. He died in the hospital, first time he had ever stayed in one. Maybe there is something really good in the Black Stuff.

Well I did say I would carryon having cake with my coffee when I was out cycling but I would have skimmed milk instead of semi skimmed in my coffee. I think you are as old as you feel in answer to your question

It's a compromise.

I'm sure carrot, beetroot or courgette cake counts as one of your five a day.

My dear mil loved a whisky and lemonade but lived by herself. So afraid of falling she never had one again. I used to say to her have one and I’ll put you to bed! She was 96 and spitting dabs of the queen!

Not sure about banana cake, it could be too sweet

Quite a few of you disagree with me and that’s fine but I speak from experience after a nursing career of over 40 years. What I often saw and heard brought me to my present way of thinking, sadly.

I think you are right. Surely when you get to that age you are entitled to a drink in the evening. No point going on for years and depriving yourself of what makes you happy.
