Yoda Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 From the BBC website; A woman who was believed to have been the oldest person in Britain has died at the age of 111. Annie Turnbull was born in Lanarkshire on 21 September 1898, when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Brought up in West Lothian, Mrs Turnbull moved to Edinburgh when she was 16 to become a housekeeper. She retired in 1974 at the age of 76. She died at Victoria Manor care home in Leith on Friday, two weeks short of her 112th birthday. Could Annie have been the last person alive to see Hibs win the Scottish Cup? She would have been 3 years old at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The oldest woman in the UK dies. A bad week for Wayne Rooney just gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Would it be bad taste (and equally bad patter) if I was to use this topic for my 1st ever 'Get her pumped'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H J Simpson Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 To hell with it. Get her pumped. Was that not likely to have been the doctors last course of action before pronouncing her dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip you are probably right on the button with this one, i saw a giant tortoise in the animal park in Lanzarote that was supposed to be over 120 years old last year.
