Statistics reported on Saturday in the Daily Telegraph show that the number of divorces granted in England & Wales last year was 11% lower than the previous year.  The one age group to buck the trend was the over 60s, where there was a 4%increase in the number of divorces – ‘silver separations’ the Telegraph calls them.

By coincidence, I also read last week that the proportion of solicitors on the roll in England & Wales aged between 61 and 65 is 4%.

I’m aged 61.

Silver solicitor, anyone?
