Joke was that not only was I doing the job well enough for the 6 months I was Temping that I was given the job after the interviews.

Then 2/3 days later came the bombshell and such was the unsubtlety of it all that the "excuse" was I "went to the loo and missed the interview" which was nonsense but their hands were tied and the outcome and intention was clear so "C'est La Vie".

To add insult to injury I then had to leave The Council as my "Temp" job had now disappearred.::o

I next re-appearred working for Social Services in Heaton Road, Peckham for Southwark Council, which was an eye-opener in "discrimination" on a level I had never personally experienced.

Lets just say I had 2 things blatantly going against me there!:))..

Prior to this I had never really witnessed discrimination in 24 years of working in various Establishments but Southwark Social Services were "amazing"..truly amazing:X
