A great-grandmother is still putting in 6-hour work weeks at the age of 80 and says she has no plans to slow down anytime soon.
Wound specialist Sylvie Hampton only began her nursing career in her 40s, but still works gruelling 18-hour days, rarely stopping to take a day off.
Mrs Hampton, from Hailsham, East Sussex, says she can still work as hard as any 20-year-old and is not at all ashamed of her age.
The hardworker says she sympathises with older workers opting to ‘botox’ their CVs to obscure their age.
The great-grandmother admitted she does sometimes worry about the fact that she completed her last degree nearly 25 years ago, and whether employers take this into account.
