I have already lived longer than either of my parents or any of my grandparents.

I'm not sure that I can think of a better collective.<br /><br />When I was a young man my maternal grandmother died at the age of 93 whilst doing the housework. She was slightly deaf but otherwise was very fit, well an active. She was generally regarded as having let the family side down because. when I was born there were 5 centenarians and 9 nonagenarians in my Mother's family. 93 was definitely on the 'young' side. My Mother likewise died with all her faculties at the age of 93. My Dad died at 94 having suffered chronic heart failure but having all his faculties. <br /><br />I only want to live to 100 if I am reasonably fit and well.
