102-yr-old UK’s oldest girl guide
A 102-year-old visually impaired British woman is now the country’s oldest girl guide, a media report said.
Betty Lowe joined Girl Guides volunteers aged 11 in 1919. And, in the finest guides tradition, she does a regular good turn by spending a few hours washing up at Salford Royal Hospital canteen and chatting to patients.
“I just enjoy helping other people and being there for the company. It’s what keeps me going. I’ve met some lovely, smashing people,” Betty, of Salford, was quoted by the Daily Express as saying.
Her first badge was for first aid — “my most important” — and she has about 20. She has been a district commissioner and received an honour for charity work in 1998.
Although Betty never married she has nephews and nieces.

The actress who married fellow Oscar winner Javier Bardem in July, was resting in between filming scenes with co-star Johnny Depp in the West Indies, reported Sun online.
The 36-year-old Spanish actress has been plagued by pregnancy rumours ever since she started dating Bardem in 2007, but the couple have never addressed the reports.
