How many eggs

My sister and I assume that Somerfield must have some sort of criteria like this.  In my local (very small) branch, there is a guy with one leg, one who is very deaf, and several with learning difficulties.  They all seem to do a good job though.  My sister has tried to get a job there without success.  My postman also says that you only stand a chance of getting a job with the Royal Mail now if English is your second or third language and preferably that you can't read.

All these quotas are ridiculous. Yes, you shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against disabled people, black people etc., but if you're employing people solely on the basis of making the numbers fit it becomes a farce. True equality is when everyone is judged on merit alone.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

That said, I've just got a new £100K a year job on the basis of a lack of blue-skinned employees within the company...
