I'm 57 - 58 on 27 December.

I was 8 years old when England won the World Cup - I know, cause I was there!

I guess I must be the elder statesman here - I'll be 62 on 16th December (my younger wife, by 7 yrs, on the 17th) - still working to help see my 5 daughters (aged 14 - 23) through university with the 19 yr old just having started a Political Science degree in Paris. Tuition is free but cost of living is very expensive - she has also discovered that her tiny apartment is full of mould, so is currently involved in a legal battle with the landlord over this. She has been sick since she moved there in early September. She has noticed that any stored food quickly goes bad too. I worry about her breathing in mould spores - her university insurance policy has provided a lawyer free of charge for her - of course the landlord has counter sued saying she created the problem - likely in between tenants they glossed over the ceiling mould with a fresh coat of paint.

Building looks okay from the exterior:-

I see Surrey is away, so I'm going to keep things rolling since I'm pretty sure my answer is correct.

With company over we served salad at our round dinner table (5,8)
