No Smoking..

[JBR]

Back in the day an employer could tell you to collect your cards should you not be suitable for a job..
Today they are very wary for fear of employees playing the 'discrimination' card..
It can be costly..
People on long term benefits must hate this.. They  are terrified that they will be safe in work.. So they make up all these' Incurable' illnesses that prohibits them for work.. eg; Bad back.. leg.. neck.. ankle.. Dizziness...Mental problems..
They know how to work the system..

Very true.
I think the popular excuse these days, especially for criminals, is 'mental health problems'.

There are even expert authorities to advise on how best to go about it:
