My Mum is 93, about 4 years ago she fell and broke her hip, she was still driving and doing voluntary work well into her late eighties and is very independent.

Happy days, sadly far too old and fat now.

Just back...
My local team AFC Whyteleafe gained promotion to Step 5 last week.
Today had free admission and an attendance of over 800. Finished the season with an 8 - 1 win.
Great effort by The Leafe .
Just about sums up my original post.
Like you say about fans that 99% are trouble free, I'm sure the same percentage of police just want to do the job.
