I wonder how they check that such a person is not a sexual predator?
Then again, he is working in Hyndburn so they probably wont have checked.

That's a good question Neil.

Now starting to worry about these taxis in Hyndburn due to recent events.

Do feel a little more to this than mere teasing... gosh, I tease my Lebonese colleague all the time for his accent ... I should be so cheeky .. the guy speaks four languages for heavens sake ! All in good fun and he loves it ..I HOPE !! Better think twice next time though.

Remember the comedian Charlie Williams, they would have hung, drawn and quartered him by now

think there has been jokes told over the years with, scottish,irish,welsh,jewish,pakistani,german, and many more (COCKNEY) being one accents, these are not racist,just good crack, seems to me there is far more to this than the telegraph is saying.i worked at some crap firms and good uns, and fail to see how this alone resulted in the guys dismissal.well knowing that unions are weaker than they used to be, i also cannot see how they never got a result if mimicking an accent is all it was.

well have read the article in the telegraph and it seems it was for a lot more than just the mimicking ... and he had been warned before about his conduct...there was another postman who was also suspended but he got his job back as he showed remorse as the one that was sacked didn't seem to give two hoots

I knew there had to be more to it

I just think its silly because i have a bit of fun with the lad,s who take me to blackburn up to queens park to see the doctours they are coloured lads and i have fun with them and they are like me they take it as a joke

It said in Thursday's Telegraph that it wasn't the asian chap who was being mimicked who complained,it was another asian chap who heard it who made the complaint and apparently he has complained before about other people and got them sacked too!

The Postmen at Accrington have had two meetings at our club within a week this could lead to a national stike if some common sense is not shown. According to a letter in Fridays Lancashire Telegraph 1/6/07 one of the sacked postmen who the writer names(i wont) Has been "a cheerfull kind considerate postman for17 years and is still considered our postie by those on his round". How can these faceless bureaucrats come to such stupid BNP fueling decisions so lightly, Why do they always take the side of the 'ethnic minority' what ever happened to 'when in Rome' etc, this is such a trivial matter it is beyond belief.
