That's one hell of an innings!

Britain's oldest person dies at age of 112

 

[Balbi]

Why aren't the Met investigating this obvious serial killer knocking off the oldest person. Shame.

Finally.

I was thinking about the other Grace Jones, and didn't think she was that old.

112 is a bloody good innings. I suppose we're almost past the point where a living person could have been alive in three centuries, which is sort of a shame.

If I ever get to be that age I'm going to fuck with people by pretending to be dead sometimes.

2019-112=1907 so we are already past it

No, I meant someone born in say, 1899, still alive in this century. There might be a small handful of people still around, but they'll be gone within a few years.

Oh yeah it's britain's oldest not world's oldest.

The last person alive who was born in the 1800s died a couple of years ago.

That's a shame, but inevitable. I can't imagine being that old - it must be odd outliving your peers and if you have kids them too in many cases.

The last person verified to have been born in the 1800s, anyway - records in a lot of places either didn't survive a century of war and upheaval or didn't exist in the first place. China put out an unverified list of its oldest people a few years ago, including the estimable Da Lanwan.

Out-living your kids in nearly all cases, must be a head fuck. 80 is a fair innings, Ms Jones done nearly a quarter of a century more than that


Pull up to the bumper, baby.

 

[Orang Utan]

This is the umpteenth time the oldest person in the UK has died. They always seem to be dying. Something's up, it ought to be investigated.

Well over a quarter - 32 years so nearly a third of a century.

My gran outlived two of her four kids, so it's probably quite common. Granted, one of them was killed in a traffic accident as a kid so that doesn't really count here.

going to hear grace jones sing next month...she's 71

For years there were supposedly hundreds of people living in Georgia- the ex-soviet one - into their 120s. But it turned out loads of men used to pretend to be their own dad and sometimes grandfather by using thief ID ( and presumably a bribe) to avoid military service...

So who is the youngest person in britain?

So who is the youngest person in britain?

It is hard to say - there are around 100000 Tory members who will prove they were "born yesterday" during the week of July 22nd, which would make them around -38 days old currently.

Me. I'm a mere glint in me dad's eye.

from that thread i see we have a poster who'd be 87. GOOD ON HIM.

my oldest aunt was born in 1899. unlikely but not impossible that she saw three centuries, and I'll never know, as she disappeared into the magdalene system.

You claimed to be 21, so you were of pre-school age when you signed-up here in 2002, totally believable.

Just remember we are supposed to live about 800 years old, but God changed it to 120 because we were getting on his tits.
