00:00Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. My name is Gwyneth Elsie Harknett. I'm 102. Wow. Last Sunday,
00:09we had a party in this home, a very good one, and they gave me lots of gifts and
00:19presents and yeah, a feast. No wine though, I had no alcohol. No wine. So I used to do a lot
00:27of cruising, so I did a lot of boozing. Is that the secret to getting to 102?
00:33I want cocktails. I like cocktails. Cocktails as well. Yeah. I've always looked after myself. I
00:39had a job in the civil service, so I wasn't overworked. It's hard work that kills you
00:48in working too hard. I had no stress. That's a big part of being 102, having no stress and
00:56liabilities and worries. I always had sufficient income. I could always enjoy myself, go to the
01:04theatre and shows and restaurants. I used to like eating out. I think there's a lot of pleasure in
01:16eating out. Having a lot of good time. No stress, as you say, and try to be kind. Kindness is the
01:25greatest thing I think anybody can have. Kindness.
