'I can't think of any special secrets I have.'
John turned 112 yesterday in his Southport care home The world’s oldest living man has turned 112 at his care home in Southport, Merseyside, but feels no different. John Tinniswood was born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912, the year the Titanic sank, and became the world’s oldest living man in April, saying the secret of his longevity is ‘just luck’. Asked how he feels to be turning 112, he told Guinness World Records: ‘In all honesty, no different.
‘I eat what they give me and so does everybody else,’ he said. Always do the best you can, whether you’re learning something or whether you’re teaching someone. Give it all you’ve got. Otherwise it’s not worth bothering with. Mr Tinniswood lived through both world wars and is the world’s oldest surviving male Second World War veteran. He worked in an administrative role for the Army Pay Corps.
