Charles Stokes has personally witnessed many of the huge
technological and social changes of the past 100 years. He saw a
zeppelin that dropped bombs on his home town during World War I;
his family worked on steam engines, then the favoured method of
power; he serviced fighters during the Battle of Britain and had
tea with a German family as World War II ended; he helped thousands
revolutionise their cooking and lighting with bottled gas; he
bought his first laptop at the age of 99. Yet his life has also
been underpinned by values that have not changed: his devotion to
one woman for 70 years; his belief in planning in advance, saving
before spending, the beauty of a garden and the virtue of clean
shoes. He is not unique in reaching an advanced age, but he is
unusual in his ability to still remember, in detail, events and
people stretching back over a century of life. This is his story,
told in his own words.
