105yr Old Virgin Says No Sex Is The Key To Long Life!!!!!!!

A woman celebrating her 105th birthday says that celibacy and staying single has been the key to her long life.

Clara Meadmore, a retired secretary, who still has her own hair, teeth,
and sharp wit, never had time for a family and lived alone until going
into care.

She said: "I've always had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further than that or marry."

Miss Meadmore, who was born in Glasgow, and lived in Canada and New
Zealand, before settling in Cornwall 40 years ago, also added that she
had never had any interest in sex.

"I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things," she said.

"When I was a girl you only had sex with your husband and I never
married. I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not
heard so I had to learn to stand up for myself and earn my own living.

"Some men don't like that in a woman and before long I was too old to marry anyway."

Miss Meadmore has never owned a television, but she enjoys the radio,
and is a particular fan of the BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour programme. She
also enjoys cooking, gardening and reading.

She saved up her salary and spent the money going on walking tours in
many parts of Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, and she still has the
diaries of the trips.

A friend, Josie Harvey, who has known her for 30 years, said: "She was
fiercely independent and believed in doing things her own way, and that
allowed her to live a long life.

"She has kept a great interest in what is going on in the world and she is a wonderful source of information."

Miss Meadmore is due to celebrate her 105th birthday on Saturday at a
party at the Perran Bay nursing home in Perranporth, Cornwall.
