Well I am 76 so cannot be called young or middle-aged really. I don't like "elderly" so how about "mature"?

I'm older than that and I'm not 'elderly'! Mind you when my gran was in her 80s she still talked about people she met as "that old woman/man" They were probably younger than her!

I am definitely not elderly.

I’m soon to be 69 and I am certainly not elderly, just older than I used to be!

Just had a conversation with a dear friend, aged 68, who, despite being fit and active, considers herself elderly. I’m just turned 70 but don’t consider myself elderly. I do realise, of course, the dear old NHS would consider me elderly but what about the rest of us? What do you think?
