Foxy had said there wasn't the obesity and diabetes there is nowadays and I thought probably because people had to walk more and eat differently.
I vaguely remember smogs. Didn't some areas gradually become ' Smokeless Zones' then?
Mups, l suppose it was an emergency there, even the bus drivers
used to get lost sometimes?

After a life time of hard work grand dad and mum sat in a chair in the kitchen, doing some small chores, giving advice to dad and mum, berating the grandchildren, and in essence, were waiting to die.
Nowadays people don't die at 55 because their bodies are worn down by life, but at 70 because their bodies turn of on bad living.
On the downside, they are not rewarded for their hard work by a resting phase. They are expected to be active and help their children and then the grandchildren because both mum and dad need to work to pay for the mortgage, and the authorities are no longer around to offer assistance.

Mrs Fox's Father died last year age 90......Both lived through the war years and didn't die of cancer or heart disease Solasch......
I think the short average life span was because a lot of them were shot fighting Jerry....

But the ages you state are in agreement with todays life expectancy. I stated that this expectancy had inclined over the years, as you can see in the graph below.

In UK it was about 71 in 1960. It is now 81.
But what has that got to do with loo rolls?
