Here's a good statistic to support anything you may be saying about the UK's ageing population...Children are outnumbered by the over-60s in Britain for the first time ever, official figures show.
In the latest sign of the UK's ageing population, the Office of National Statistics revealed that at the end of last year 13,262,256 people were 60 or over.
That was up from 12,928,071 the previous year, while the number of under-18s fell from 13,119,654 to 13,111,023 over the same time period.
You wouldn't have to remember exact figures, of course, but knowing that the old now outnumber the young in the UK would be an interesting fact to quote.
