Oldies behaving badly...

Is it just me or does everyone think our grey nomads have earned a good time?
The British Foreign office says it is becoming increasingly concerned with the behaviour of it’s over 55’s abroad.

They say most older holiday makers admit to consuming far more alcohol when they’re away than they would at home, which often results in shouting at resort staff, over estimating their strength and therefore taking part in risky behaviour - and my favourite - staying too long in the sun….

Apparently your older Pom on holidays doesn’t mind the odd shag away from home too…one in ten Britons over the age of 55 admit to unprotected sex with a stranger, while on holidays. Crazy kids.

There is something I love about pensioners behaving badly – I’ve told you before about my Gran being expelled from her nursing home for late night parties…

There’s also a lovely story from a British newspaper columnist Sue Carroll, she writes about her 94-year-old Aunt Jessie.

She says, “Jessie gleefully told us over Easter that she's already booked her 95th birthday trip - in a hot-air balloon.

"If I don't make it," she explained cheerfully," you can take my ashes because I've already paid for my place."

That's the spirit.
