You couldn’t make it up

You have to laugh, otherwise the alternative would be to register for anger management classes. A Job Centre in Thetford, UK, refused to display a request for a domestic cleaner which included:

Must be fluent in written and spoken English for Health and Safety reasons….Previous experience preferred. Training will be provided. Must be reliable and hard working.

So, what was so offensive?

The Job Centre refused to display the request because, by asking for ‘reliable’ staff, it discriminated against ‘unreliable’ people and it would leave them open to being sued by unreliable people.
