I'm told it's not PC to refer to people as 'grey nomads' because some nomads are not grey and calling them 'grey nomads' might make the non-grey nomads feel excluded. Seriously.
Apparently, the correct term is 'aged wanderers'. Yep, that's me.

Hi,
And the collective noun for said folk is a dither.
Cheers

Haha you're right. My BIL I referred to earlier (the one with the thermos) dyes his hair black. I think he may use shoe polish?

And don't they tend to over do it & look ridiculous?

Maybe he is actually bald & just polishes his bonce with good ole KIWI then gives it a bit of a light scuff & voila, a wannabee 20 year olde.

They always look like an Undertakers Dummy to me.
