SINGLE supplements certainly aren’t a problem for an adventurous 90-year-old British woman, who recently booked a luxury cruise with a total stranger, shortly after meeting him in a pub.
Vera Burrell stopped in for a bite in Winchester, where she started chatting to 91-year-old “John” who was also in the pub.
Conversation turned to holidays and John, who didn’t want his last name published, asked Vera if she’d ever been on a cruise – and suggested it was about time that she did.
The smooth talker took her to a nearby travel agent and together they booked a 3,700 P&O UK Mediterranean cruise.
Two weeks later the couple met again – in Southampton, where they were shown to their shared cabin before setting sail on the 11 night trip.
John said there was no romance, but enjoyed Vera’s companionship and has reportedly even asked her if she would like to join him on an upcoming Caribbean voyage.
