[QUOTE="bookmite, post: 711864, member: 135800"] The odds are stacked against us :-) In 2012 it was reported that half a million people aged 90+ living in England and Wales. They might only represent about 1% of the total population, but given that the number has increased 33% since 2002, they're likely to become a bigger part of Britain. But a lot of people pass away between their 90th and 100th birthdays - the totals plummet from 453,000 people aged 90-99 to just 12,320 aged 100+. That's still an awful lot of Christmas cards - on average 14 cards need to be written every day which sounds like a dreadfully dull duty for one Queen. 610 people who have lived for more than 105 years The 105+ age bracket is a tiny one and it's one for the women - less than 1 in 10 people in this demographic are men. Those numbers have almost doubled in a decade - from 320 people in 2002 to 610 in 2012. Back then, there were only 20 men who lived past 105 compared to 60 now.
