    I have three over 60s working for me, and I like precisely the sort of qualities that older people have; reliability, honesty, loyalty (and er cheap ) and I dont feel a need to shag them all the time.

    This can be a good thing at the start of the recruitment process as it stops biggoted managers putting oldies in the "no" pile without giving them a chance to show that they are capable of doing the job.

    Fortunately, I don't look my age. (I also know someone who looked 20 years older than she is).

    Personally, I think they have had some effect.

    Or, maybe zimmer frames are now more common in the work-place!
