“Really and truly, when people ask what me eat and drink to live so long, I say to them that I eat everything, except pork and chicken, and I don't drink rum and them things,” she said.
“You know, sometimes I ask myself, 'Am I really 110 years old?' because I don't feel like 110.”
Her carer added: “She likes fish and mutton and sometimes she will have cow foot, but she does not eat pork or chicken.
“She also likes sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, breadfruit, and fruits, especially oranges and mangoes.”

72-year-old pensioner faces jail for fatally shooting burglar

Reuben Gregory who lived a reclusive life with his sister could be imprisoned after he shot dead a man who tried to break into his caravan.

The man was woken by his sister's screams in the early hours of 12 June as someone attempted to break into the caravan they shared in the countryside near Heathrow.
Both attempted to fight the men off with a knife, but Gregory fired a double-barrelled shotgun through a hole in the door and hit 48-year-old Wayne Digby with a fatal shot to the chest and his
 alleged accomplice, Anthony Hearn, was also injured.

 Gregory and his sister Kathleen have lived a frugal life in the caravan since 1960s - which is accessible only via a footpath and has no running water, phone line or electricity.

After the shooting, he called the police from a neighbour's phone, telling them of an incident after a "gang" had attempted to break in.
"Yes I'm the one who's done it mate," he said. "I've been attacked at the caravan."
But police investigation revealed that he had more weapons.

The following were reported found in a bag near Digby's body; a wooden mallet, cable ties, a bottle of bleach, a funnel and bolt crimpers and a machete with Hearn's DNA in a nearby street.

Further search of Gregory's caravan uncovered a tennis ball full of flammable liquid and stuffed with a rag.
He was initially arrested on suspicion of murder, but the court ruled he was acting in self-defence.
The man pleaded guilty to having a firearm without a certificate at East Berkshire Magistrates' Court on Monday.

The illegal firearms charge carries a prison sentence of up to five years.

Gregory said he had owned the weapon since the 1980s, when he and his family were hit by another break-in, and had been refused a licence because the caravan was not deemed a safe place to keep a firearm.
Defence lawyer Umar Khan said Gregory "fully accepts" he kept a weapon without a certificate.
"He didn't want this trouble, he lives a frugal lifestyle, he and his sister," he said. "Trouble came to him."

He will be sentenced at Reading Crown Court at a date yet to be set.

Man found dead in the airport carpark eight months after he went missing

The deceased's wife is devastated after her  husband body was found in an airport carpark, eight months after he went missing.

Randy Potter, 53, of Kansas City disappeared from his home in January this year and wife Carolina Potter immediately began searching for him.

He was last seen leaving home on the morning of January 17.

The wife contacted Kansas City International Airport to let them know her husband was missing and gave them details of his vehicle.
But it wasn't until a foul smell was noticed coming from a vehicle in the airport's Economy Lot B parking lot this week that his body was discovered.

"How is it possible, in America," she asked The Kansas City Star.
"A truck sitting there for eight months? He could have been found a lot sooner if everybody had done their job.
"Nobody bothered to look."

The man who was a T-Mobile manager is understood to have taken his own life.
Kansas City police say the body was in the airport carpark from January to September in the truck of his vehicle.

The City spokesperson Chris Hernandez issued a statement expressing "their deepest sympathies" to the family.
"We wish them peace during this difficult time," he said. "We are working with all parties to determine the facts involved, including SP Plus, which manages the 25,000 parking spaces at Kansas City International Airport."


After his wife reported him missing to Lenexa Police Department and hiring a private investigator, they were unable to find him.
The wife and a member of his family even went to the airport looking for him.
But the airport authorities had reportedly told the family if Potter's vehicle was in one of their parking lots, they would find him and now the frustrated family is demanding answers.

"It's amazing he wasn't found in June or July," the family's lawyer John Picerno told The Kansas City Star that :
"Our goal is to find out what happened and why. What was done, what wasn't done.
"And to try to make sure this doesn't happen again to somebody."
