"111-Year-Old British Man Claims Title of World's Oldest Man, Born in the Year of the Titanic"
TL;DR
John Alfred Tinniswood, a 111-year-old British man, has been recognized as the world's oldest man by Guinness World Records following the passing of the previous record-holder. Tinniswood, a World War II veteran, attributes his longevity to luck, regular exercise, and moderation in all things, with a weekly indulgence in fish and chips. He was presented with a certificate at his care home in Southport, England, and is described as "a big chatterbox" by the staff.
