It's smoking, a cultural indifference to repeatedly getting sunburned to poo poo, a higher proportion of people engaged in heavy manual labour and I think moisturiser hadn't been discovered back then either. I think.

Not sure that explains the people going around with more canyons in their face at age 35 than most journalists have in their brain.

Some people just look old, so that can be selection bias. I was in the army (conscription) at age 20 with a guy a year younger than me, he looked 50. I remember that guy because of his appearance and also because of his resistance to cold. He froze to the ground one time when on guard, just sat on the ground in freezing weather.

I would swear that English people generally look younger than Americans. Celebrities aside American 18 year olds seem to look older than British 18 year olds and then hit 30 super hard.

Can't say I didn't mishear but Radio 2 seemed to suggest that Harry has been re-granted the right to wear his military uniform for the funeral. Wonder if he's been reinstated into the royals.

I would legit prefer Harry over William, if only for the mass national decunting Meghan Markle becoming Queen Consort would perform via blood pressure.

Harry would absolutely be better than William. William has inherited his father's pomposity and sense of entitlement, while Harry has inherited his father's sense of duty and history of active military service.

There was something a couple of years back about how the turbo-communist Seumas Milne looked younger than the equivalent Tory functionary half his age.

Yesterday when I came past they were preventing people from joining the actual end of the queue and making them do a short length of extra queue route that didn't have anyone in it first. And yes, an army of stewards and cops.
