I wonder if there is anyone who is older than 116 which I think is the age the worlds oldest person is. I read in the Daily Mail 4 years ago of a woman in Africa who is 150, although it could not be proven. I wonder if that is possible, as I have just read Bendy's living to 1000 thread. |

G'day Benjamin. "Google" from 2003. At the age of 128, Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel is considered the World’s oldest living person. Born in Portsmouth, Dominica, and the daughter of a slave, she started working on a plantation at the age of 25 and retired 79 years later. Ma Pampoo ascribes her longevity to her diet--including lots of dumplings and bush tea. She has survived her husband and two children Can some one teach me how to make Dumplings!!! Already know how to make "Bush Tea" lol Tony Oz |
