Combined ages of the guests at a Watford Christmas Party on Tuesday [December 26] amounted to 16,000 years.
But since the occasion was the annual party of the “Over Sixties Fellowship” this is not so surprising as it sounds.
Of the 260 people present, all were over 60 and five were over ninety years old.
