Fear of Ageing? So Strange! Where Has It Come From?
A wave of fear has engulfed the middle years of life.
Almost a tsunami! Sensible people worrying, fretting, feeling anxious about ageing, yet actually heading for the best stage of their lives!
How did that happen?

Something you should be doing about it?
Get back to the optimum curve?
Make sure you dont slide?
And be #AgeProud about it!

After that cheekily asked asked everyone on the path how old they were!
All but one of the 8 pairs of walkers we met on a Monday walk in the Peak District were over 65!
Letter to the Editor: The Telegraph.
Why? Not really cleverly ironic is it? More like unthinking ageism? And certainly helpful in reinforcing the negative image of later years that contributes to the issue?
Some editorial rethinking needed?
