7 Britain s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr.Evens, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. There was a trip to the White city but it was ten shillings return from Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then, he said.
During the nest two days Mr. Evens will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. I don t like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old, he said.
Hi secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, I m glad to see they ve given me a return ticket.
What might be the best title for this passage?
a. 100-year-old Tourist
b. Secret for Long and healthy life
c. Free Return Ticket
d. Sightseeing in London
