Oldest man in Holland turns 107

Friday 27 March 2009

The Netherlands' oldest man Jos Wijnant celebrates his 107th birthday on Friday along with his daughters and other residents at the De Taling pensioners home in Den Bosch.

Wijnant, who is keen on following the news and enjoys a glass of wine, puts his long life down to never have done 'stupid things', he told the Telegraaf.

The Netherlands oldest resident Grietje Jansen-Anker celebrated her 111th birthday last September.
