World's oldest person celebrates turning 117

I would love to see the article, but it appears to be behind a paywall.

Oh well, since BBC is delusional to think people will pay for their lousy content here is a different version of it (free) from daily mail LOL

Hmm. Do ya think mebbe it’s them genes, or a healthy lifestyle? Here’s a hint - she came from a family of eight siblings, one if whom reached 104 years of age. I don’t think her longevity comes down to, as she claims, her disposition of “not arguing with anyone”. But if so, most of us on this site are screwed, as vigorous discussion seems to be the norm - we don’t “just listen” and not answer as was her wont.
