Discriminated Against.

[TWR]

Do you find when you reach the right old age of 60 you are discriminated against? Life Insurance, Hol Insurance, Car Insurance, everywhere you tend to look, your age goes against you.

Errm...not here they don't. But then again,I'm often told I look much younger. Guess I need a walking stick and granny clothes...;-)

You are a bit of a Victor Meldrew, tw. But you're allowed when you're old(er).

TWR...I think the consensus of opinion here seems to be that there are lots of advantages of being 60 and over. But there are many ways that isn't so good, namely my teeth ! I also find loud pop music irritating in a way that I didn't when I was much younger !

Sevjk, our own home paid for,
3 cars, paid for,
Fortunate, no debts,
Can afford European Hols,
We are fourtunate,

Again I will ask,


Do you find when YOU reach the right old age of 60 YOU are discriminated against?

Mikey, if you still have your teeth get them fixed. Dentists can do wonders these days.

[mikey4444]

Alas, not enough of them for any good foundation I'm afraid !

My only real choice will be dentures, which I not looking forward too. My Dad used to have them and they shot across the room like a bullet, whenever he got excited. Still, it was good wicket-keeper practise for myself and my brothers.

[naomi24]

That's a shame.

TWR, the last line in your OP, Appears to be a statement not a question.

[naomi24]

^It does. Hence my comment.

No.

The EU has already stopped insurers from discriminating on the grounds of gender. Next, in some EU quarters, is to ban discrimination in insurance on the grounds of age. That will be fun.

As an octogenarian I have only ever encountered positive discrimination
