A couple who have been married 75 years and who are both celebrating their 100th birthdays have revealed the secret of a long relationship - arguing every day. Josephine and Alfred Waterfield met in a pub when Josephine was working as a Land Girl the year before World War Two broke out.
Alfred, who served as a Marine at the time, married Josephine in 1947. Son Allen, 74, told the Daily Express: "They'd say the secret to a happy marriage and reaching 100 is to have a row every day. They are like that, nothing serious, just a bicker.
"It's rare nowadays to see marriages last so long so they got something right, and it's lovely. There's some hope for us all.
"My dad also likes whisky, it's his drink. He actually has a whisky chaser and a beer every day with his lunch and says that does him good. They both have a Baileys every night before they go to bed."
The couple, who have four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, married on April 5, 1947. Josephine, who was a housewife after the war, turned 100 on October 4.
