Between 93-year-old Ted Ingram and the newspaper industry, it's the world's oldest paperboy who gets to retire. After a long time running, of almost 71 years of being the newspaper delivery boy of the Dorset Echo in his own English locality, Ingram finally thinks it's time to stop, with his knees growing weak.

Ted Ingram's title as the world's oldest paperboy is even certified by the Guinness Book of World Records about three years ago. During his career run as a paperboy, he noted that he only missed his daily routine twice in his entire seven decades of work and that's all due to a couple of snowstorms.

Looking Back at Ted Ingram's Humble Beginnings

Daily Mail UK reports that Mr Ingram was only 22 when he started as a paperboy to gather some extra funds for himself. It was in 1942, when he recalls how much he had fun doing the job that he never had any plans of leaving it for another profession.

Even up to the years when he was feeling his knees getting week, he still managed to move on with the work bearing a positive attitude that it's a unique way to stay healthy and work out.

Retirement and Beyond

Now that he has finally stopped working, his plans of retirement include just taking things easy by having fun and relaxing. He only had two holidays while he was still at the peak of his profession. It happened way back in the 60s when he treated his family to bond in Butlins.

He has two kids, four grandkids and four great grandkids too. His wife, Betty, passed away about fifteen years ago. His daughter shared how much all of them in the family were proud of the world's oldest paperboy.
