I don't like this arbitrary age cut-off business.
I mean, sure, they can specify whatever characteristics they want and there will still be more than enough applicants to choose from, and sure, being 26 and a half I've got a few months less to run until retirement or loss of medical, but, in terms of still being fresh and trainable, I just happened to do a 4-year Scottish degree, take a gap year, do a Masters and then by popular demand get elected to sabbatical office. Now here I am, free at last at 26, and ready to sign up to a career, and already I'm too old, presumably according to bureaucrats and statisticians. How fair is that!! What a crap world this is
I'm just going to apply anyway if the online form will let me
