According to the 2011 census in Christchurch in Dorset, almost a third of the population are over 65 and at the start of this month the tv 'Newsnight' presenter, 62 year old, Jeremy Paxman, made his way there for a special programme called 'Senior Moment'.
The programme made the following points, that :

* the 'All Mobility' store Jeremy visited was once a 'surf shop', a key indicator of how the town has been transformed, with over-85s now the fastest-growing sector of Britain’s population.
* Jeremy travelled around the store, trying to avoid the other scooters on display, in a filmed segment for the programme and complained that the mobility aid, with a top speed of 8mph, was "too slow" and asked if it could go faster, then laughed as he bumped another scooter while trying a left turn.
