Reliably stupid
Don't know why I'm still surprised at any of this anymore, but this is ridiculous!!!!!

Employer told not to post advert for 'reliable' workers because it discriminates against 'unreliable' applicants
When it comes to hiring staff, there are plenty of legal pitfalls employers need to watch out for these days.
So recruitment agency boss Nicole Mamo was especially careful to ensure her advert for hospital workers did not offend on grounds of race, age or sexual orientation.
However, she hadn't reckoned on discriminating against a wholly different section of the community - the completely useless.......
.....The Job Centre in Thetford, Norfolk, said the advert discriminated against unreliable people.....
......Mrs Mamo, a divorced mother of two, added: 'I had to battle to have "must speak English", which they also said was discriminatory.
'In the end, I had to write "must speak English due to health and safety reasons" because they're dealing with hazardous materials.'
