Do you know your mail carrier? How old are they? We bet not as old as Ted Ingram. Ted is 90 years old but he still delivers newspapers in Dorset, United Kingdom.
Ted has his job since since 1942 (imagine that!) and has delivered over 500,000 newspapers! That’s nearly 7 decades – we wonder how many people can claim to have hold any job so long!
The guinness book of records is now considering him as the oldest paperboy, but Ted says “I hope I can carry on the round when I’m 100, I have no plans to give it up”.

Wow! Good for him! I hope he fulfills his dream of still deivering when he's 100!
I hope Ted holds the record until the age of 100, but I wish he could hold it when he was young, so that he would be able to have fun with his record for the rest of his life!
I love and highly appreciate people with such attitude to life. I think that is the key for a long, happy and full living.
Wish him a lot of health and joy fo many-many years!!!
too cool
