Jobsworth Award ...
 
goes to a security guard in Cambridge ..



A Cambridge shopping arcade has apologised to an 84-year-old woman told to lower the hood of her anorak because it breached a "no hood policy".

BBC News - Woman, 84, ordered to lower hood

Anyone else got any others for a jobsworth award? :D:D:D

Will the clothes shop's within that shopping area refrain from selling hooded garments to discourage the use of these outrageous garments?
I find it strange that shop's selling this type of stuff never complain about the restrictions placed on their customers by the places renting them space.

Ok, I've got a jobsworth for you.

I was loading stuff in the yard area of the Arndale today (cle.aring out the grotto from the weekend). I was asked by a security guard to move my car because it was a loading area. I said 'I was loading'. He said, 'but you're not in a van so you have to move'. When I asked why that mattered he said 'vans are allowed to load and unload but cars have to move'. I WAS LOADING!!!!!!
