My grandparents used to always have funny stories to tell...pity it was wasted on young kids ears...when we didnt appreciate them at the time...but if i had my time back i would pull up a seat and give them my undivided attention.
My dad who is still young himself has great stories of his parents time...and they were always funny.
It is a pity that Social Media and All the Movies, T.V. programmes, Radio, are mainly geared toward the young and middle aged.
So many people now living very long lives so the clothes shops, and Medical profession will have to start realising , that these are people with needs too. There were some great Movies out for a while, aimed at the older set, it did not last. Very few.
