Synopsis

With a bit of luck, we all know an older person. We might even think of ourselves as such, but should we really?
Inside everyone is that spirit we remember when we really were young... so what changed?
The simple answer is 'Attitude'.
Last century, everyone was old over the age of 30, and most were in black and white (if you watch the films or look at old photographs).
Today we have a choice of behaving any age we like: young people (YP) can be old and old people (OP) can stay young for as long as they are able.
This is a tongue in cheek study of what makes an old person old, and a reference manual as to how to not do those things.
If you know an OP, this will amuse you as you observe those behaviours, and will permit the poking of gentle fun as you bring the points in the handbook to their attention.
If you are an OP and want to change, then you will see all the things you do to make you old, and discover ways you can appear and act younger without witchcraft, portraits or expensive face creams.
Alas there is no secret to eternal youth revealed herein, and the book won't stop you ageing, but using it, you can give Age a run for its money and have a lot of fun on the way.
And me, the author, and hopefully not an OP? “The mind of a twenty-year-old, the body of a forty-year-old, the face of a moose.
