you didn't ask "Who's your favourite Spice Girl?", Eccles.
Fair questions though, Conne, what exactly was the problem? Legs no longer as supple as they used to be? That does happen. Still too heavy to lift your own weight? That's likely to be worse if you've been sitting there for a while than if you've been getting up and down.
My guess is it is all age-related, but can probably all be tackled by a bit of regular exercise. But I don't get any so I'm probably not the most convincing person to say it.
