Ah, geriatrics! The wrinkles, the greying or balding hair and a walking stick! We all get old – some faster than others. But old age often brings with it, wisdom, retirement and sometimes fame! The elderly are often key characters in story books, movies and songs from our childhood – think ‘The little old lady who lived in a shoe’, Grandpa Jo and Grandma Josephine from Charlie and the Chocolate factory or ‘Old Mother Hubbard’ or maybe ‘The was an old lady who swallowed a fly’! Add a few years to your look for your next book week fun day, Halloween party or themed famous person party. Just add the walking stick and some false teeth and presto – you’re 90!
