People aged over 60 in the UK outnumber children for the first time, according to official figures. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) revealed 13,262,256 people were 60 or over in mid-2007 - up from 12,928,071 the previous year. Meanwhile, the number of under-18s fell from 13,119,654 to 13,111,023 over the same time period.
Do you feel outnumbered by the golden OAPs? |

Well I don't wander around the streets feeling paronoid because I think old people are taking over, no. Why would it bother me that there happens to be a lot of old people around? At least they're not all dying... |

[br]Aww i feel outnumbered
Can i just say has anybody actaully noticed this because ino i havent :S And is it really that inportant
Yeah it kinda is, the more old people we have the more people in retirement we have. So if we have fewer younger people who are starting work who pay taxes, the less money there will be to pay for the pensions.
Ha, i did learn something in GCSE geography.
