Here's to you Mr Allingham!

A verteran of the Battle of Jutland which took place 90 years ago today, Henry Allingham, 109, was handed a scroll, a badge of honor and a bottle of malt whisky by Graham Marsden, Mayor of Eastbourne in East Sussex.

Mr Allingham said the whisky, along with "cigarettes and wild, wild women", was the secret of his long life.

He is Britains' oldest man.

He turns 110 next week!

Cheers Mr Allingham.

And yet Wild Wild Women are STILL not available on the NHS. Disgraceful.

Since he's grown his beard he keeps coming up with even more useless information. Yet no new jokes.
