Have you encountered casual ageism?Santander and Lloyds both refused my 75 year old husband an extension on our mortgage despite our business still making money. The ombudsman ruled that banks and insurance companies can discriminate on the grounds of age. I believe they have now relaxed this rule. Now 78, husband is still working and playing tennis in the county leagues. Quite funny sometimes when he gets patronised by a young player who then finds his serve returned with interest. Travel insurance is calculated on age rather than medical profile which, I think is completely unjust and instutionalised laziness.
