A 100-year-old woman has revealed the secret to a very long and happy life - and it's "avoiding strange men" at all costs. Olive Westerman, from South Kirby, West Yorkshire, celebrated her landmark birthday last week and reflected on the last 10 decades that were spent laughing and travelling.
The retired nursery nurse says working with young children keeps her heart young, but steering clear of odd strangers is what really helped her reach 100.
Olive added: "Avoid talking to strange men and you'll be just fine. I think that the best advice I could give is simply to be happy and content to be alive, and to make the most of what you have."
