... and on the TV programme about ageing and long lives the other night, 3 examples were given. Okinawa where they seem to be 60 when they're 80 or more and 110 isn't unknown(Tai Chi and Tofu); Sardinia where there's lots of centenarians in a few families (a strange gene) and California (exercise mad vegetarians who believe in the afterlife)....

One of the latter was a doctor still doing major open heart surgery at 92.. who said "... of course I don't tell my patients I'm 92" that wouldn't be very sensible now, would it
