Not ready for the Scrap heap yet.

I object to the title of senior for over 50’s.


Surely I can’t be a responsible adult already?

But the list of top 20 signs of ageing was achingly funny and true.

As I don’t have the article in front of me right now, I am not even sure it was top 20 signs or top 50?

But anyway, I digress. (It’s not a memory issue, is it?)

I believe in celebrating the passing years as a mark of commitment.

I admit to being over 50 and slowly wearing out physically.

The mind wearier and inpatient with tedious new techno hassles.

But I am sending out a war cry: We are not ready for the scrap heap yet!

I object to the title of senior for over 50’s. Another letter. Coincidently today the public service had a survey on ageing - which made a point of saying people between the ages of 50 and 60 are not seniors. Were they listening!
