Grumble grumble about SW age categories

This is probably just silly vanity but I resent that SW has me in the "61-69" age category. I am not yet 65, which is the traditional age of retirement and being officially a "senior citizen" around here. I feel like there is a big different between me, practically still in my 50s, and someone aged 69 who is almost seventy!

Anyone else perturbed by being lumped together with "much" older (or younger) people here? :)

My first experience of ageism was at Brighton, England when I was forty eight. I was pushed off the pavement by a group of students. Typical Brighton though, claims to be diversive, but a seedy sham.

Ageism at work can be subtle. But it is there. I knew I would be in for a rough ride at 55, and I was.

When I was sixty one I bought new suits, I told my second in department they would last four years. You should have seen his face drop!

Mick Jagger is 78, but then again he was old in the sixties.
