Life Expectancy?

The ONS tells us that life expectancy is still growing year by year, although the figures do not include this year "of the plague".

This is what they said recently:-

"Life expectancy at birth in the UK in 2017 to 2019 was 79.4 years for males and 83.1 years for females; slight improvements were observed from 2016 to 2018 of 6.3 weeks and 7.3 weeks for males and females respectively.

The relatively low increases in life expectancy at birth in 2017 to 2019 suggest a continuation of a trend observed since 2011, where annual life expectancy improvements have slowed down in comparison with the previous decade."

So what are you going to do with all of these extra years which they keep giving us?

(Note_ I'm past all of these figures )

If I reach 80, I shall start smoking if I can still afford it.

Much the same as I thought too, Tabby.

Having given smoking up in my early forties (due to illness), I missed it greatly and resolved to take it up again if ever life was threatened by the illness again.

I've now grown old and even if I knew I was on my way out, I don't think I'd want to smoke. Booze would be a different matter though.
