You are not truly “old” until after your 83rd birthday

Brits are not officially “over the hill” until the ripe old age of 83, a new poll revealed yesterday.

Researchers surveyed adults in their 50s, 60s and 70s – and discovered that most pensioners are living life to the full, with the majority not feeling you are truly “old” until after your 83rd birthday.

In fact, nearly a quarter of those polled said they still feel in their prime because they regularly attract attention from the opposite sex, while one in five confess to still having a GREAT sex life.

One in twenty of those who took part in the study said they still feel like a teenager at heart, while three quarters still consider themselves as young.

And as many as nine in ten respondents who were in their 60s and 70s consider themselves as not remotely ‘past it’.

The study showed 69 percent said they still feel youthful because they have a positive outlook on life, while 58 percent said as long as you can still drive you were not “past it”.
