She has to send her documents for validation by the Guiness Book of Records - if I were her I'd make sure they were sent registered and insured (surely Guiness can offer to reimburse the costs?)  the soul cultivator Claire Hall Post Count: 23 Msg: #2 204 days ago, February 16th 2008 | What a lovely story....and thoughtful idea from you, because we are talking London England, where nothing gets delivered on time to where its meant to go, if at all, even if it is registered. And to reimburse means dealing with many different departments who don't talk to each other during working hours in the official sense...yet all smoke fags outside together during break times. Her claim will be passed from department to department, no one having a real clue what it is about. This could take up to 6 months to work through the cooperate system, to finally get authorised by the head of Guinness, to send a cheque for the sum of £3.50, then it is sent back by UK second class post, which will take another 2 months if lucky to arrive in Jisr az-Zarqa-Isreal. | But that's only going to happen if she ticked all the right boxes and listed a return address including a full post code, at 120 years old her hand writing may be shaky, she may not be up speed on her PC skills so I hope she has a fully competent secretary with a maths and English degree to deal with the paper work and slow English way of dealing with things. Lets just hope after all that she isn't out 'walking' when the postman comes leaves a calling card and sends it back to the Jisr sorting office. But then when she finally receives this great honour bestowed upon her by The Guinness Book of Records London England...she will be at least 121 years old. Would she have to do this every year till she dies?  Mell Mel Fla Post Count: 3636 Msg: #3 203 days ago, February 16th 2008 | 120. Wow!!!! | Apparently the human life span is 150 years. I read that there are a number of factors preventing us from getting so old. Amongst them are mineral diffeciency in out diets and depression. I sometimes wonder if I would like to reach 150 years. I think if I remain able bodied for my whole life I would like to so I can see the world changing decade after decade. Would anybody else like to reach this age? I am curious about peoples opinions on the subject. Mel Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 3 | |||||||||||
