Of course it was discsrimination that prompted them to sack the obese nurse, and so it should have been. She should have been let go because she was unable to do the job in her physical state. Would you want an alcoholic doing neurosurgery on you? So, the fact that he would not be permitted to would be discrimination against drunks in the operating theatre.<BR/>Reminds me of the old Peter Cooke/Dudly Moore pice on the one-legged Tarzan.Ian Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-13963050166462663132008-01-30T09:06:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:06:00.000-05:00"The fat lady has sung..." sorry lil sister couldn..."The fat lady has sung..." sorry lil sister couldn't help slipping that in. ;o) Good rant, I'm sure Middle Sister would agree with you.Big Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309464919532916689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-10067497465851640892008-01-30T06:38:00.000-05:002008-01-30T06:38:00.000-05:00Yay Jazz, it's PC gone mad!!
