This week on the SoapBox, David's gone and gotten himself all het up about elderly people.<br /><br />And with good reason. Old folk today are a strange lot: some of them fought in the war, some of them managed to wriggle their way out of it. All of them survived it, obviously, in order to beget us.<br /><br />But there's something not quite right about the way we think about old people, and as we look to the future what does it hold for them? If anything?
