This sounds like Lulu who constantly repeats that she’s 76 as though she’s special. She looks ok but I’ve seen better!

No, not me! (I’m just a bit over) but I recently remembered a neighbour of a granny saying this every time we saw her! This would have been in the 60s.

I don’t think 75 was a very great age even then - both GMs lived well into their 80s, and my lovely GGF well into his 90s.

But I can’t help thinking that hardly anyone would talk like this now about their age, or would they?

BTW I don’t think the neighbour had dementia, there was no talk of her ‘not being quite right in the head’.
