REASONS TO WANT TO TO GET OLD

(as seen on Glamour UK magazine)

1 Retirement (aka lie-ins every single day)

2 A hostage situation? You're likely to be released first

3 Your ailments will be take seriously

4 You will be allowed to order a sherry without looking like a loser. Sherry is nice -- and cheap

5 That Chanel bag you blew a month's rent on in your twenties? It's not only still cool, it's now 'vintage' as well

6 You can get one of those cute little shopping trollies with wheels. Goodbye achy arms

7 It's licence to pretend you're a little bit deaf, when really, you just don't like what they're saying very much

8 Grandchildren. Like having kids, but better -- "You can have them back now, darling"

9 Rudeness without repercussions. No queuing for me, thanks!

10 Napping is perfectly acceptable pastime

11 It's practically illegal to NOT eat clotted cream and strawberry scones

12 When you fall over, people will rush over to your aid, rather than laugh

13 You will be driven everywhere

14 That fourth glass of wine? Why the heavens not

15 Dentures don't need fillings or root canals. Goodbye dentist's drill, hello boiled sweets

16 If someone irritates you, you can knit something hideous that they have to wear

17 Asking permission for things? Pah. You practically invented permission

18 You can fabricate outrageously far-fetched anecdotes about your youth. Partied with Kate Moss -- check. Turned down a date with Patrick Dempsey -- of course you did

19 No more waxing or shaving. At last!

XOXO,
