WHEN I was a journalist in my late 20s in the North East of England, I noticed how older women had this knack of steering the conversation in a certain direction: 'You're a nice girl,' they'd say.

AGED 68, I am, like millions of people in their 60s, still working. And, also like millions in this age group, I have an underlying health condition — an auto-immune disease. So, as the nation gears up to return to work, how worried should people like me be? And if we are worried, what are our options?
