Why can't you put 45 y.o. in your CV, are there any consequences if they ever find out ? You may also remove some old / irrelevant experience from your CV to make it look lighter and easier for agents to digest.

There is only one employer worse that the one discriminating on the age. The one who cannot figure out how old you are by adding years of experience and education.

No education on my CV, too old now for it to be relevant
Any work over 10 to 12 years old is no longer on my CV as it's not relevant anymore (10 in I.T. is like 20 years outside IT imo)

Hey guys - why not just learn something that's common as tulip (like Excel) inside out. Then get any office job going, for the time being, at whatever rate.
Surely that's better than not working.

I've seen jobserve ads for Snr Project Managers and Programme Managers wanting a degree 2:2 minimum, like WFT that was 25 years ago?
