DOUBLE STANDARDS

Edna Martin and her husband Simon have just celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. They met at a gig and it was love at first sight. So far so normal. But Edna is 87 and Simon 47. He was just 28 when they first got together. Their marriage has defied all odds and the doubts of their respective families. It’s a sweet, romantic story, especially as they still fall asleep and wake up holding one another’s hands. But now spin this on its head... Does it sound quite so cute if a man of 68 ‘pulled’ a girl of 28?
