Museums Waking Up to the value of their 70+ Market? They should!
The Future is not just about a Museum being Friendly to older people, but working with them as valuable and essential partners.
Swimming at 83? Yes! Pools Age Friendly? No!
Most pools certainly do not look as if the designers tested them on our age group! And certainly haven’t thought through what the ageing population would benefit from.
Disability Adaptations? In my house? No!
Why isnt it seen as ordinary to have a grab bar in a shower?. Shouldn’t we assume it normal and sensible for there to be one? Could we provoke a feeling that hotels and people who don’t have one are being rather silly?
Excited About The Future? At 83!

Did we turn into AI /computers/people?
