I think this ageism thing is nonsense - and dangerous.
Lots of older people have a wealth of knowledge and experience built up over their working life. Some of these youngsters may have a degree but no experience of life or work and make decisions totally out of their depth.
60 is the new 40
If older people are working, they're paying taxes and NI contributions, they'll also have more money to spend - in shops, pubs, cafe's and restaurants etc. so don't write off us oldies - I'm 60 now, but a different 60 to when my Dad was 60 in 1970 - different times, different attitudes.
Brains and bodies age at a much different rate.
