 How about the myth that we were once healthier than we are now?

Now this is *really* O.T.    :-)

You've been conned Ode. Actuarial statistics are wonderful things and always deadly accurate. Why? Because they only relate to making money. The life expectancy of a person born since the early 70's is now so low that the Insurance industry has stopped bothering about life extension support policies completely. ( The chances of those superannuation payouts being a liability after 60 are zilch now!)

Treat yourself to a trip to an old cemetery and ignoring horse tramplings, wars and the odd plague, look at the ages at death. Particularly wimmin................

Anyone out there older than say 50 now - do you remember all those "old" people dying at 50? Where I grew up I can remember people saying about one of our neighbours, "poor Bruce and so young." He was about 60, a big gross man and a real boozer, but after all, he was only 60.

Cheers,
Himagain.
