Why are peole in Scotland ageist?
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Thanks for sharing that
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

40 is 70 in Scotland, 50 is 90 etc etc... HTH.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Oh, HAB, poor HAB. You've missed the point.Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostThis is ideal for me, but I am too old at 50.
They're not ageist.
Oh, this is so desperately bitter sweet.
Don't walk away from them now, just when you've found them. That would be tragic.
Dear, dear HAB. It's just that they've just been searching for you for ten years.
