'We're getting on a bit' - Meet Elma and Thelma the cheeky 103-year-old twins

It's many, many, many happy returns for twin sisters Elma and Thelma who celebrate their 103rd birthdays tomorrow.

The two Stockport sisters are set to reach this phenomenal milestone in style with a surprise bash laid on by family but when asked if they are looking forward to their birthday fun-loving Thelma shrugs and says: "Not really, it's just another day."

After celebrating so many birthdays Thelma would be forgiven for being nonchalant, but it's not many people who reach the grand of old age of 103, something I tell her a few times until she laughs: "OK, stop reminding me, stop rubbing it in."
