Current issue of Fortean Times has a round-up of recently deceased contenders for World's Oldest Person. One made it to 114 and attributed it (partly) to green tea. otoh, the Cambodian tiger hunter who lived to the same age attributed it to chain smoking rollups ever since, as a youth, he was told it was effeminate to chew betel.

Whatever for? You don't like it. Find something you /do/ like that has, apparently, life-lengthening properties.
Become a tiger hunter in Cambodia!
I'm thinking of taking up building amateur radios in Yorkshire, actually.

Lowe and behold, eh?
I have no idea what the joke is in that. Sorry. I have a headache the size of Manchester. It may be a brain tumour.

Lowe, manufacturer of amateur radios, but I think they are from Derbyshire not Yorkshire.
Steve Firth come on down!
They are. Matlock, if I'm not mistaken. Quality equipment too!
Tez.
FACT!
90%+ of Radio Hams are paedophiles.
I know next to zero about the equipment used by radio hams, but aren't I right in saying that this works on short wave and is unencrypted traffic open to all who are listening on the frequency?
Sounds like a damn fine way of finding paedos if that is the case! Should make the police's job so much easier!
Plus if that's true then the vigilantes don't need any specialist knowledge or equipment - they can just walk down any street looking for the 50ft aerial!
