Not quite sure what any of that description has got to do with your ability to do a job, but anybody giving you preferential treatment by employing you on the basis of any of those factors would probably be breaking the law.


Good luck with your job search anyway.

Tell you what, you delete that bit and I'll delete my post :)


I'm not offended, just feel strongly about equal treatment in employment :)


The age and sex bit are also subject to employment law ..... it's illegal to treat a job applicant differently on the basis of age or sex, except in certain very specific circumstances.

I know they are.


I spent a lot of time in a previous incarnation providing training to show employers that those particular factors should not be available at the shortlisting stage :))


ETA: Anyway, I'm sorry for derailing your thread, but I think it's an important point.


I genuinely hope you will find work.

    • If Lammy had a jury trial for incompetence he would be convicted beyond any reasonable doubt.
    • We've been to The Plough a couple of times recently and thought that the food really has improved.  We had the special Christmas chicken burgers the other day that were great!
    • I have been having problems with inpost as well recently (also Vinted parcels) one eventually showed up at Ronnies supermarket after 2 weeks of me trying to chase it.  I currently have another delivery coming from Enfield area but looking at the parcel’s  journey  it went from Dartford to Swansea and back again and now they have been trying to deliver it to the lockers but they are full!  🤦🏻‍♀️  I would have happily paid for home delivery but that option was not available!     
    • Ok, latest news!  Went into Barry's yesterday, spoke to a staff member (possibly manager) who seemed knowledgeable, he said that they DO refuse parcels from InPost / Yodel because they haven't got the space for the ~300 parcels the van turns up with! So the tracking info IS correct when it shows refused. He said he would call me when the van arrived so I could quickly go there and try to get my parcels. He didn't, but I did get a notification at 4.34pm that ONE of my parcels had arrived (the oldest one). When I went to collect it, that staff member wasn't there, and the others just shrugged their shoulders when I asked why they hadn't called me, and why the other parcels hasn't been accepted. I then had a notification for another delivered parcel at 8.39pm. I've just been to collect it, but it's not there, and not on their system as being delivered. More shrugging of shoulders.  I've just called InPost (tbf, at least they have a phone service and staff that are semi helpful) who confirmed that the parcel had been refused again, put the notification down to a mis-update, and that delivery will be attempted again today. Interestingly, they also said that the shop could only refuse TWICE, after which they MUST take delivery, but this doesn't seem to mean much in practice.  What's not clear is whether, without me calling InPost, these refused parcels would be returned to the sender after X attempts. I've requested that mine are attempted until they are delivered, and apparently InPost have requested that mine are definitely accepted on the next attempt. We'll see later today. But the main thing for me is that I seem to have gained clarity, that stores ARE refusing deliveries due to space restrictions (especially with the increased number of parcels at this time of year), and it would appear that most of the lockers are also full, so probably also causing refusals. I'll be paying the small extra premium for home delivery from now on...
