Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 What about women tube/train drivers? That seems a fairly straightforward job: keep train on tracks, stop at appropriate signs, and bugger all need to deal with passengers? yeah but its a bugger to steer the trains around the bends ( and in the dark ) dead clever those tube train drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClazUK Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 calm down missues I don't see where they are asking for a bimbette ? they have said the role is suitable/would suit a younger person ( being a trainer/ position ) and the pay is likely to reflect that ( i.e its going to be shite ) It's a golf club, predominantly a male domain, so sorry but they will be looking for a pretty young thing who can keep the punters happy and pay shite. If they could say female with big knockers I would imagine they would. I'm not interested in applying, the ad (the one in the paper, not the link) caught my eye and screamed "ageist" at me. I can work for shite pay. Actually I DO work for shite pay. As do all the over 60s B&Q have started to employ with their enlightened policies. Crikey there has been bad flooding in Somerset. Hope everyone is ok. Where in Zummerzet/Linky please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Where in Zummerzet/Linky please? Crewkerne seems to be one of the worst places affected. Also Illminster was mentioned. Bath & West Show was flooded too. No link sorry, it was on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosboss Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Errr why are you differentiating based on gender, having posted that there is no valid reason to do so? Cos I was reinforcing the discrimination with sarcasm dead clever those tube train drivers Even the women train drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I can work for shite pay. Actually I DO work for shite pay. As do all the over 60s B&Q have started to employ with their enlightened policies. Im rather glad B+Q do employ over 60's though as i find them far more approachable and less likely to pull a face coz ive interupted their chats about who pulled and what club etc. At least they are getting a shot at some work and minimum wage is better than no wage at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nouggatti Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 calm down missues I don't see where they are asking for a bimbette ? they have said the role is suitable/would suit a younger person ( being a trainer/ position ) and the pay is likely to reflect that ( i.e its going to be shite ) if you wanted to complain I think you would need to apply and see if they are only interviewing at a certain age limit and actually turning down people on mass due to age Looking at the website link Marion posted I would have thought the mangers job was more up your street and suited to your experience ( and would pay better as well ) Where I work we can't specify definitive requirements such as "must have" as it contravenes trade union rules about job specs, we have to say "would be desirable" Just spent 15 minutes on the phone due to a work emergency, had to call one of my team etc etc and try and sort stuff out, is all sorted now, but still a pain.
