Heading a bit off topic, but I just wanted to say that this ageism is not new. More than 40yrs ago I was accepted for a prawn trawler engineer's
position, and told that I would start in a couple of days time; just had to
fill in an application form. When the interviewer scanned the form and saw that I was 36 he said " I'm sorry, you're much too old".
