How old is the oldest person you have met?
(btw 105+ actually means 105-109)
On 7 December 2021 at around 7:30 PM, I had a short FaceTime call with 112-year-old Pearl Berg of Los Angeles, California, United States.

I'm never met SC (However I visited 2 of 115+ SC's nursing home) because I'm not powerful person enough for can met real supercentenarian. But instead of never met an SC, I met a prime minister accidentally.

I met Alfred Date a couple of months after his 110th birthday.
I was doing some work with the Local Municipal Council up on the Central Coast (about 1 hour north of Sydney) where he lived.
The Council were looking to promote their area and some of its citizens and I pointed out to them that their area contained Australia’s oldest man.
Alfred’s son arranged a quiet catch up for two or three of us with Alfred. He was frail and to be fair “slipping” at that stage.

By "frail" and "slipping", do you mean he was completely bedridden and no longer communicative, or was he just not able to walk? Could he still answer questions?

At that stage he didn’t get out the bed he was resting in.
He was attentive for parts of our discussion and either non attentive or his thoughts were mixed for other parts of it. At that stage he came across as very tired.
It was near the end of our summer being either late Feb or early March 2016, if I remember correctly and he passed away about 8 weeks later.
I do know that he had been in fairly good shape for most of 2015, so that’s why I used the term “slipping”.

We were there for about half an hour and for him, at that stage, it was certainly long enough.
But for the avoidance of doubt, yes he could talk, answer questions and reminisce. But that fell away in about the second 15 mins of our meeting with him.

A woman in France at the age of 97,5. She was part of "Le Troisième Âge" (a group of elderly that meet up every now and then for activities), which my French grandparents were also part of, and eventually died in Roquefort-sur-Garonne (or maybe in Boussens) at the age of 103 or 104.
Overduidelijk misschien.
