Have a look about some of the jobsites - they have interview technique stuff and just look ultra-confident. Worked for all the lads I was at Uni with! BS baffles brains, everytime! :)

That's one of the things I hate about the UK, lots of discrimination going on and it's not just about colour; it's age, race, accent and more. Sometimes it doesn't matter one bit that candidate A aged 40 knows more than Candidate B aged 25 and could do a better job, there are a great number of reasons why the 25 year old gets hired, many of which are quite illogical.
Unless you can find a firm that is positively not agist then its difficult for anyone over 40 these days; wonder what effect the Age discrimination law will have, not a lot I guess.

There are so many people around
