Would you?
I've been reading about the 90-year-old lady who agreed to go on a P&O cruise with a 91-year-old chap, John, just 45 minutes after meeting him in a Winchester pub. It seems to have all worked out brilliantly for them - no romance but happy companionship. P&O are so pleased with the publicity they've offered them another cruise for free! But I can't help thinking they were both taking a huge risk. So - what would you do if the chance came your way (and you were single of course)?
Apparently John visits The Vine in Winchester once a month - it's just a few yards from the cathedral where I work..!

If she was half my age, a looker and fit as a butchers dog then I might give it a go

Re: Would you?
I wouldn’t share a cabin or hotel room for one night with my best friends, so I certainly wouldn't share with a stranger.

Re: Would you?
No not for me either. Definitely not with a 90 year-old!

Me too - like my own space - I know I'm a funny one and as for sharing with a 90 year old stranger I'll pass on that too

All that said, for them it was a win-win. She got a free cruise. He probably didn't pay a lot more than the dreaded single supplement. And they both got companionship and had a lovely time.

Re: Would you?
some relationships work out with intimacy from day one one. I know a lot will say no intimacy on day one but there are relationships where
where both act out of character and it works.
