You either live long or you live short
0:03
And you can't do much about it. Guinness World
Records is pleased to be in Southport, UK
0:09
to meet John Tinswood. I am 111 years old. John,
I'm pleased to confirm that at the age of 111 years
0:23
222 days old, you are the oldest man.
Congratulations. You are officially amazing
0:34
Oldest man in the world. How do you
feel? No difference. No difference
0:40
What's your secret? Don't know. You don't
know? Nothing to do with fish and chips then
0:46
No idea really. Just luck, I
think. I think it's just luck
0:53
I don't have a special diet.
I don't eat steak and chips
0:59
I eat fish and chips. I was
on smoke for about two days
1:09
I got no pleasure from it. I'm told I didn't
smoke. If you drink too much or you eat too much
1:20
or you walk too much, if
you do too much of anything
1:25
you're going to suffer eventually. That's
the newspaper from the day that John was born
1:33
I can remember my first day
at school at the age of five
1:39
It's not much earlier than that that I
can remember. I like particularly running
1:46
I was pretty good because of that.
A very handsome man, aren't you John
1:50
Would you say so? I work chiefly in accounts.
I wouldn't say I'm an accountant possibly
1:58
I think I actually retired at 60, so
I'd be down in the early 1970s to 72
2:07
The world in its way is always changing.
It's a sort of ongoing experience
2:23
Always do the best you can. Whether you're learning
something or whether you're teaching something
2:34
give it all you've got. It's not worth
bothering with. That's the main thing
