Life Lessons From 100-Year-Olds

Life Lessons From 100-Year-Olds




  I think I've done all that I wanted to do. As long as I can be helpful and keep going. That's the main thing.

My name is Clifford, but call me Cliff Crozier and I was born on the 6th of September 1915. Makes me now a hundred and one. born in Birkenhead in the Wirral, Cheshire. Apart from the war and the time I was at college, I've been everywhere in my life. I've been retired now for thirty-eight years. It always pleases me though that I can keep robbing the government with my pension.

It's just that you keep going. It's only a number. A hundred and one is only a number and you live for the day. A spot of whiskey occasionally helps although it's not on National Health. I have a pile of fond memories. I sometimes sit down in my chair and think of my past, and I try to sort of reorganize the story about these people that I have got in my mind and mix them up together first, and then pair them all. And I think there are quite a few people out there that would be very very happy to be together because they are such lovely people that they are. 

A hundred and three, my goodness me. Three is my lucky number. I have always been lucky. I've never been unlucky, touch wood. Oh, there's wood underneath there. I was in Czechoslovakia when I was a young girl and I was living with my grandparents because my father was a prisoner of war. We came over to England to be with our father when he was released from the war. Everything makes me happy. I love talking to people. I like doing things. I like going out shopping. Once I go out shopping I don't want to come back.  

because I've done practically everything that I ever wanted to do in the past. I've got beautiful memories you know. I can live happily forever after because of my lovely memories.
