But jock, surely my lack of foresight is explained by my excess in 4skin
Ahh, you could always become a detective.... You'll soon have a "tip off"
what about this guy who got fined for speeding and paid the fine but wanted to appeal and said his religion prohibits him from attending a court! Oh by the way i thought he was a muslim, but he is some sect of Christianity!
People are going crazy, there is mental epidemic I think the world is suffering from! and its catching fast, already many of us seems to be suffering from it on here!

Have you provided your working definition of "silly"?Come on chaps or chappesses, think about your silly responses before you post crap.
Second, why do you assume that posters on hear haven't thought about their crap long and hard already, and then decided to post it anyway?
Perhaps you'd like to point out his non-rhetorical questions?
I'll repeat his post for you and indicate his answers to his own questions.
(Just for those who aren't aware: a question ends with a question mark, one of these "?".
Hmmmm, so just how long , has this employee worked for M&S on the checkout? Seems to me this person hasn't just started working there, otherwise at the end of their probationary period, M&S will happily wave them goodbye. (or would this be grounds for claiming discrimination??)
Did this employee bring it up at the interview stage that his/her religious convictions wouldn't allow them to handle certain items? (I very much doubt that)
Could be a case where he/she has looked up and saw the size of the queue and decided to use their religion as an excuse to be moved elsewhere.
It is your assertion that the text you have emboldened forms direct answers to his own questions. I disagree. They are his ASSUMPTIONS (to use your own preferred description).
I believe Jock's questions still await direct answers, although I'm sure none of us are in a position to supply them. Unless, of course, further information regarding the situation is forthcoming in the press some time in the future. I await the possibility with interest.
Oh, and it really doesn't matter to me whether or not you consider my responses as 'silly'.
May one be so bold as to focus on this bit of the text of the original cited article?:
Imagine, if you dare, that you'd queued up for a fair old while and met this response once your little pork chop or chipolata
was placed before the "Checkout Attendant" hands. Would it be reasonable for you to have to go and join a queue elsewhere? Surely, the position of the till operator permits him/her not to handle certain goods should be made clear to prevent anyone queuing up there?

As someone said earlier (I think), should that ever happen to me I'd just leave my things on the conveyor belt and walk out. Let them put everything back on the shelves, and perhaps they'll think twice about kow-towing to troublesome ethnics.
They wouldn't get away with that with me. There are plenty of other shopping outlets.
On an associated note, does anyone else feel a sense of disappointment when phoning up a company (mostly mobile phones) ends up with a johnny foreigner picking up the call?
I'm glad you said that.
On Christmas Eve I e-mailed Three, as I was having a bit of a problem with my new smart phone accessing the internet on their network.
On Boxing Day, I received a telephone call from an Indian-sounding young lady from, presumably, an Indian call centre who was very polite and clearly-spoken, very knowledgeable and helpful, and sorted out my problem quickly. She even apologised for 'the background noise', explaining that her colleagues were having a Christmas party! I was very grateful and told her that was quite alright by me and thanked her profusely for her help.
Then, today, I received a follow-up call from the same person just to make sure everything was still OK. Again, I gave her my grateful thanks and assured her that everything was fine.
Indian call centres receive a lot of bad press but my experience on this occasion was nothing less than excellent. If this young lady is representative of Three's customer service, I'm very glad I went with them.
(Edited due to an errant full stop. Call me pedantic if you will.)
When I was with Virgin Media, the only time I spoke to a person in the UK was when I called to tell them I was changing my tv, phone and broadband supplier. Every other call invariably went through to their call centre in India. Some of the calls to India , I found helpful, and mostly the people on the other end were very polite, but on a few occasions, I did have difficulty understanding the person on the other end(who's limited English was quite poor)
I'm now with Sky and their operators are fellow Scots (although sometimes I think it would be quicker to get in my car and drive to their call centre, in Livingston and ask them in person, rather than wait in what seems to be an endless queue) .

You're not exactly selling Sky with this info

Wasn't trying to sell Sky , whatsoever Dex. I reckon I'll change back to VM when me year with Sky is up. Broadband d/l is marginally slower with Sky, but u/l speed is phenomenal compared to VM. (at least 6x faster) What really lets Sky down is the loss of satellite signal every time it bloody rains (and it has bloody rained a lot of late)

Even less intelligible, then, I suppose.

That's interesting. I found a reduced satellite signal with my phone this afternoon under heavy rain clouds, and I sometimes notice a loss of GPS data under these circumstances.
