Overview

With around 16 per cent of the current UK population now over sixty years of age, it is vital to have a voice. Here, a cross-section of older people, including such public figures as Denis Healey, Barbara Castle, Claire Rayner and Peter Preston, discuss what it means to grow old in computer-age Britain. From their own experiences, they address issues such as making ends meet, maintaining precious independence, coping with widowhood, with sex, with sociability and how to get away from it all or start again. Each contributor is over sixty and far from the sweet old thing asking for a seat on the bus: in many cases they are demanding a turn in the driving seat.
