Oldest British Worker

This guy rocks!

"Buster" Martin, a mechanic for a south London plumbing firm who has 17 children and 70 grandchildren and great grandchildren, tried giving up work at the age of 97 but couldn't face the boredom.


Yikes! Seventeen childreen and seventy great grandchildren! Just try imagining that... THAT is the full life.

"I have never in my life owned a phone -- they are a bloody nuisance," he said. "You can be sitting peacefully indoors and they start ringing. I hate them."

I agree! I hate phones too. Whenever they ring, someone wants to talk to you. I own no phones except a cell phone which only a few people know. Even then I change the number routinely. Phones need to die.
