In her famous poem, ‘Warning’, Jenny Joseph, then 29, saw old age as a time of non-conformity when she could behave outrageously: she would wear purple with a clashing red hat, and learn to spit. Now she’s 85, I wonder if she’s done all those things, and if so, did anyone notice? Because today’s older generation is unlike any other before it. It’s full of non-conformist Baby Boomers for a start. It’s also the largest in history – engaged, outspoken and supportive of others.
