Ageism
15/10/2008 by admin.
I have just found this in my drafts file ands can’t remember whether I ever published it. Well now it is time to name and shame. The university involved is Salford - and they simply did not reply!!!!
Interested to swee the new ageism laws in force while filling in a form for a university post.
The application studiously refreained from asking date of birth, simply asking you to declare that you are not within six months of 65.
But on the next page, it demands secondary school details…and DATES!!!
OK, its a fair cop. I’m 56!

Sorry, Geoff!

Perhaps I was hasty in my disappointment over the appointment of Geoff Hoon as the new Transport Secretary. He turned up to GMPTA’s lobbying event in the Commons and actually spoke.
It turns out he’s from a railway family and actually got on a tram (the right one, unlike Tom Harris) at the Labour Party Conference.
I don’t apologise, however, for complaining about the sacking of Tom Harris.
