T1125344929
Officially an 'ageing nation', how does Britain really treat its older people? Getting On tells the first-hand stories of discrimination, isolation and inhumane treatment experienced as a result of becoming 'old'. "It was two days before my birthday. All the girls had had a whip round and I got £150 quids' worth of Marks and Spencers vouchers. It was a big celebration. People were saying, 'Ooh, you've been such an inspiration.' Then the management called me in and said 'You finish in March'. It's amazing how quickly you can be undermined and made to feel you're useless"
