Founded by ex-Private Eye man Richard Ingrams The Oldie is emphatically not a magazine about retirement. We recognise that what our readers want more than anything else is good writing & amusing articles on a wide variety of topics. It is for any independent-minded reader. Every month it brings you great writers such as Mavis Nicholson Raymond Briggs Ruth Rendell & Tom Stuttaford. As well as these & other equally famous & talented guests there are contributions from people of whom you will not have heard. It is this unsolicited material
- one reader's role in the sinking of the Scharnhorst or the recounting of a chance meeting with Chuck Berry on a train
- that makes it unique. Please note that The Oldie is published 13 times a year meaning a 12 issue subscription runs for 48 weeks
