   I'm 71 (semi-retired), and my wife is 74 (retired), living in   
   southern England, so I think we qualify as "senior citizens".   
      
   > 1.)  "Big boat", (as I THINK that I've heard and/or seen them

   We have a Peugeot 208, which was purchased 2 years ago to replace a   
   Honda Jazz;  I notice more people my age driving that size of car   
   rather than the ones that don't fit in a standard car parking slot.   
   (I'd say those are driven more by middle-aged people rather than   
   seniors).   
      
   (FWIW, I'd never own a two-door car, but my preference for four doors   
   dates to long before I became a senior citizen.)   
      
   > 2.)  Eating supper at a time something like 4:00p.m. or 4:30p.m.   
      
   We changed our evening meal time from 8:00 pm to 7:00 pm a few years   
   ago, mainly to give us additional time to digest our food before   
   bedtime (which is 11:00/11:30).   
      
   I can't say I know anybody who eats their evening meal before about   
   6:00/6:30, let alone 4:00/4:30.   
      
   > 3.)  Cafeteria restaurants.   
      
   Nope; don't like those.  I associate them very much with families,   
   with the seniors along as grandparents rather than by their own   
   choice.   
      
   > 4.)  Eating breakfast at a fast food restaurant.   
      
   I treat myself to breakfast at a local cafe (a non-greasy greasy   
   spoon) a couple of times a week.  I sometimes ate breakfast at a   
   fast-food restaurant when I was working full-time, usually when I was   
   out and about on site visits to building sites and archives.  My   
   impression is that it's more a working-age demographic that eats   
   breakfast in such places, rather than an age cohort.   
      
   Are you referring to North American senior citizens?  I think the   
   preferences you mention correlate much more with n location than age.
