Мислам дека се работи за единствен случај!
Клара Медмор, 105 годишна пезнионирана секретарка, никогаш немала сексуални односи во животот.
Clara Meadmore, a retired secretary, who still has her own hair, teeth, and sharp wit, never had time for a family and lived alone until going into care.
She said: "I've always had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further than that or marry."
Miss Meadmore, who was born in Glasgow, and lived in Canada and New Zealand, before settling in Cornwall 40 years ago, also added that she had never had any interest in sex.
"I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things," she said.
"When I was a girl you only had sex with your husband and I never married. I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not heard so I had to learn to stand up for myself and earn my own living.
"Some men don't like that in a woman and before long I was too old to marry anyway."
Miss Meadmore has never owned a television, but she enjoys the radio, and is a particular fan of the BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour programme. She also enjoys cooking, gardening and reading.
She saved up her salary and spent the money going on walking tours in many parts of Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, and she still has the diaries of the trips.
A friend, Josie Harvey, who has known her for 30 years, said: "She was fiercely independent and believed in doing things her own way, and that allowed her to live a long life.
"She has kept a great interest in what is going on in the world and she is a wonderful source of information."
Miss Meadmore is due to celebrate her 105th birthday on Saturday at a party at the Perran Bay nursing home in Perranporth, Cornwall.
