Political correctness has taken over. I read on Teletext, this man in Bolton had advertised for some staff in a cafe, in this shopping complex. Along with a list of what he wanted, he wanted the staff to be 'friendly' - the ad was banned because it caused 'discrimination'. He couldn't use the word 'friendly' because it 'discriminated against people who were not lucky enough to have that sort of personality'
Me thinks the UK has finally lost the plot. If you need me I will be stocking up on bottles of water.

Yes I agree, just not sure where the bottled water comes in
Suppose you run a small business with only a handful of employees, a small accountancy practice for example. So, the people you need have to be properly qualified in the professional, accounting sense. Also, since we're dealing with a small business, you want people who are reliable, since the absence of just one person will adversely affect the entire company.
Now suppose that you have an open position, and a female applicant. Now, obviously, if she takes maternity leave this will blow a small hole in your company. However, despite this valid concern, it is not even legal for you, when interviewing her, to ask if she is even considering having a family.
You can get it in most good supermarkets. And many of the bad ones.

Hilarious, I'm sure...
But soon there will be tick boxes on job application forms to make sure that the job has filled its quota for the amount of miserable gits in employment.:D
But who banned it? The person who banned it must have no friend at all in this world.
