    It is a topic I feel very strongly about that disabled people should be given a fair go in employment.

    Mrs Cat, is, as they say, absolutely blooming.blob1.gif

    As for the due date, it depends if you listen to Dr Feelgood, or Florence Nightingale.
    The best guesstimate at the moment is Mid Feb.

    From your own link I quote "A recent survey revealed that one in six (15%) young disabled people said they had been turned down for a paid job, and told it was for a reason related to their disability or health problem"-- and all the time you thought I was a moaner who was unfairly harsh on employers-- but it seems I am not.

    Phil - I've been turned down for a job because of my 'disability', and I've not once complained. Get over it - there are loads of jobs, you don't need special help or anything, you go out there and you get what you want BY YOURSELF. You can do it, you just choose not to.
