Shirley Greening-Jackson of age 75 is fully capable of filing an application for russian visa and walking on the great waal of China. But an internet connection was simply not deemed fit for lady of that age: 'Sorry, you're over 70. It's company policy. We don't sign anyone up who is over 70.', said the young man behind the counter. The company told the lady that she would have to bring a younger member of her family in order to sign the contract, and from the viewpoint of an ordinary western society with emphasis on individual rights, it is hard to believe that its legal. Lets hope we havent heard the last of that story.
