Is Short the oldest living cabinet minister of the 1974-9 Labour government? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dovea (talk • contribs) 17:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It looks like he is. The closest contender is Michael Foot (born 23 July 1913). James Callaghan held this distinction until his death last year. JRawle (Talk) 19:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Was it Ted Short who at one time said that his vision was the day coming when even the girls behind the counters in Woolworths had degrees - a sort of metaphorical reference to education standards rising? But that when, later, unemployed graduates had to take jobs like that because they couldn't find anything better, the conservatives made a joke on his remarks.
