An article about Hollywood lovely Michelle Pfeifer (the ‘p’ is silent, as in pbanana) on the BBC website made me wonder if the alternative headline - which is true for a lot more people than Michelle’s soundbite statement - would ever make it onto our screens. 30 is actually the new 70 for millions of adults living in appalling conditions around the world and extraordinarily, 54 is the new 70 for residents of one particular estate in Glasgow.
Apparently, just about the only place where 70 is still the new 70 (and probably black is still the new black) is, Iraq.
