Well said!! Even Lord Arnold Weinstock, Fuhrer of GEC and not reknowned for
his kindly concern for the welfare of employees, realised late in his
career that perhaps older people weren't brain dead, set in their ways and
inflexible after all. The old dogs can be taught new tricks and to dismiss
their employability was "probably to neglect a valuable resource". He said
words to this effect in a memo.

Hi everybody,
The advertisement for a salesman brings up a good point.
Why do firms insist on specifying an age limit for a particular post when
it
precludes very suitable and dynamic people both above and below the
llimits.
In particular, an older person can bring a wealth of experience and
knowledge to the table that a younger person may not have.
Physical fitness? Look at the number of retired people in the London
Marathon.
Employers, please judge people on their merit, not when their parents
decided to start a family.
Regards
Eric Dawson
