caring about being asked one's age (a factual and undeniable bit of information) is a whiny first world problem, usually reserved for bitchy white women. so, welcome to their wine soaked, cigarette smelling, and soap drama driven club

I would guess since your name is "pinkfloyd" and you're bitching about young people that you must be really old.
- don't worry I am too, I'm so old I saw The Wall in the movie theater when it was first released.fooler

In the UK, as an employer it is illegal to ask someones age in the interview. As for him asking your age, not illegal at all as far as I know.
Personally I don't see the big deal... just tell him and get on with your day?
- so, if they ask it's an actual punishable crime? I highly doubt it's illegal in that sensemonospaced

Ask him WHY he wants to know random shit...
OR, are you just a bitter old unmarried jerk who doesn't like little cunts?

Maybe this person sees you, and your role and would like to do that. Maybe they're hoping to find out how long they have until having a position like yours feasible. An honest question. Maybe you're too fucking sensitive.
A freelancer I hired asked me the other day, with exactly this in mind.

^ Life comparison type thing.
He wants to fuck you, or be like you, or both.
Be flattered either way.
