Thanks for the replies.
I think I will risk it and give it ago as I will only live life regretting not taking the risk.
I do hope that if it doesnt work out with regards to banking, the MBA will at least open other interesting doors.
In the UK whilst you dont have to specify age, you still have to input the year you graduated from university etc so it is easy to work out approximate age. Regarding age, whilst I will be mid 30's upon graduation I actually look alot younger so at least I have this in my favour.
Any more stories about older MBAs still welcome.

Unfortunately for the OP it is common to include date of birth, a photo, and sometimes marital status on CVs in Europe. Not sure about G.B. specifically, but I would guess they follow the same standard.
To the OP: It's worth applying, right? If you truly feel that a full-time, traditional MBA program is the path to get you to where you want to go, and your girlfriend is supportive of that decision, then why not? It sounds like this is something you long to do, so go for it! It's absolutely worth at least spending $1,000 on application fees to check out your options.
Best of luck to you!

As UK Bond Raider says, you can pretty much always operate with a failsafe of graduation years. Not that it really matters all that much to be honest, just the older you are the more they might check out certain factors to be sure. If they like you though, they like you. Mind, I know in some states, you cannot discriminate based on mental retardation. You have to ask how, in many lines of business, that is really possible. I get the idea of what they are trying to put in place, but...
UKBondRaider - PM me. I have some insights on the UK recruiting that may or may not be of assistance.
I think you are making the right move - it is worth throwing the dice. You can always back down before paying deposits, but waiting and hating isn't going to be a good strategy.
