The corpus reference link is very useful. I looked up a British slang word that folks used those days to call old guys - 'codger'. See the example sentences that came up:
had to sit and listen to a boring, unknown, dreary, old codger who was "GIVEN" an honorary degree --; which course did he attend?
someone saying, bloody hell look at that old codger behind the wheel! Only I won't be around to live to see it.
"old ducks", "old biddy", "old codger", "old dears" and "old folk" all conjure up images
