‎40s, 50s, 60s... How exactly is "middle age" defined? My age +1.
Steven Holland@BBC News Magazine

What is the average life expectancy? Middle age would be half way. I'm nearly 42. I consider myself middle aged, but I gym 3 times and run for an hour very week and am fitter and in better shape than I was at 17. Middle age is the new black.

I vote for @BBC_magazine to name the #BBCcat Dimblecat. It's a spectacular name, and very fitting.
Sarah Cornwell@BBC_Magazine

@BBC_magazine I would have thought the obvious name for the #BBCcat is Humphrys.

Do you think it took the elevator? What a cutie. Every office could use some feline energy.

This gave me a scary moment, 'til I realised it said Survey, not Surrey. I'll get my dressing-gown.

As a graduate of a subject that focused on "social studies" (I studied law, which I think is the study of society's rules), I want to know why Ron (Tuesday Letters), thinks that the study of society isn't useful? Graduates of "social studies" have proven that they have an open mind that can analyse arguments, find creative solutions and understand different points of view. Perhaps Ron would benefit from a degree that similarly broadens his horizons.

Tamsin, Devon (Tuesday Letters), I'd imagine that The Museum of Prunes attracts a lot of regular visitors.

Tamsin (Tuesday Letters), intrepid museum explorers willing to leave their native shores may also be interested in the "Currywurstmuseum" in Berlin. You can see German sausages getting chopped into pieces, drowned in spiced ketchup and topped with paprika powder. Tempted? No, neither am I.
