When we're old and grey

I'm no spring chicken

but after reading a post about a hotel that myself and a few friends went to a few years ago it reminded me of us wondering at the time how hotels will cater for us when we reach our 70's / 80's.

The hotel in question mainly had an elderly clientÃ¨le and so the entertainment of an evening was ballroom type dancing, which the guests loved and were eager participants. We enjoyed watching them float around the dance floor. We then got to thinking what will we have in our later years? Tamla Motown? Will we be up dancing to Soul music in our jeans whilst the youngsters look on and think 'aww bless'?

I've never been a dress/skirt person so I'll probably still be wearing my jeans, I wonder, however if I'll move into comfy joggers or something?

Re: When we're old and grey

We will probably all be somewhere in Folkstone 'tea dancing' together - or possibly 'head banging' together if we are trying to cling on to our youth (metaphorically, I dont mean clinging on to a 18 year old :rofl

).

Is there an 'up north' version of Folkstone ? Perhaps I will have to come up and meet you all up there in 20 years time God willing.

Doe, why not cling onto that youth literally too? I can recommend it! :rofl

For dancing purposes only of course

Whitby's close by so we could meet up there but not to tea dance as that's not our era

It'll have to be the head banging or disco type dancing :cheers

Wonder if we'll be able to get to on the floor (or more importantly back up again) when having another shot at :-

Re: When we're old and grey

You lot speak for yourself :rofl

. I can still party with the young and prefer their music. Bring on Kanye, jay-Z and a bit of Rita Ora for me .. you can keep your tea dancing :rofl

.

Funny tho how us girls that are knocking on the wrong end of forty gather in a big circle when the 80-'s classics come on as though we are dancing round a huge pile of invisible handbags.

Re: When we're old and grey

I still wonder about the clothes, will I find myself in M&S looking at slacks? Will the younger generation when they are in their 70/80's still wear their trousers half way down their bums? :yikes

I'm worried that I will no longer be able to wear four inch heels or knee high boots :rofl

and if anyone ever finds me looking at polyester slacks, just arrange to have me put down Glynis

Re: When we're old and grey

I will know I have past it when I start wearing shorts with sandals and white socks pulled up to the knees, that is me past my sell by date

No offence to anybody if they already do that (Brian / Glynis)

I can picture all the 70 & 80 year olds having a 'SAGA Foam Party' :tup

Re: When we're old and grey

I'm nearly forty-four and still mosh with the best of them at rock gigs, did so as recently as a couple of weeks ago to Muse at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, War Child, gig! Hope to still be 'at it', jeans and all, for as long as my two favourite bands keep performing! :tup

Re: When we're old and grey

I'm sure you will Pippy :cheers

So there we'll all be in our late 70's in our jeans bopping away with the youngsters sat watching thinking 'aww bless 'em' :rofl
