A great-grandfather from Merseyside has surpassed all living men in the globe in age.
John Tinniswood, who is 111 and 223 days old, claims that he does not attribute his extraordinary longevity to a specific diet or lifestyle decision; however, he consumes crusted fish and chips every Friday.
The care facility personnel in Southport refer to the British national as a “large chatterbox.” “I eat what they give me, as does everyone else,” he stated. “I maintain an ordinary diet.”
His additional claim regarding his secret to longevity was “pure luck,” adding, “There is not much you can do to alter the fact that you either live a long or short life.”

He was born in Liverpool on 26 August 1912, and he wed Blodwen in 1942, during the Second World War, after meeting her at a dance in the city. After one year, they welcomed a daughter.
Mr. Tinniswood retired in 1972 after serving in the accounts department for Shell and BP.
The couple had been wed since her passing in 1986 for 44 years.
Regarding his 111 years of life, Mr. Tinniswood remarked, “In its way, the world is perpetually evolving. It is an ongoing experience; things are improving, but not by a significant amount just yet. “Things are proceeding in the right direction.”
Upon learning that he had established a world record, he stated, “It makes no difference to me.” Not in the least. “I concede to its true nature.”
