Tweet I remember it well, Sunday night listening to the chart show on the radio, Mam combing lumps out of my long red hair looking for nits.

Tweet Fifty is the new forty, so they say. I have to say that people who actually say this, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. On the one hand, I agree, in as much, that at 50 by now the kids should have left home, you should be starting to earn more [...]
