Please tell me there's more to this sacking than somebody having a bad hair day and another being a fat git.

Perhaps people weren't using the company for fear of getting that particular driver, but, perhaps they could have employed him/her on the phones. It may involve one member of staff changing hair stylist and the other going on a diet but at least they're not having a gender change

Hasn't that fish n' chip wrapped got nothing better to print, I think the picture says it all and I'd be inclinded to side with the cab firm owner on this, and if it has been putting ppl off calling then surely he did right to protect the other gawd knows how many other drivers on his firm, we had a stinker years ago, a lady friend of mine said her friend had to lean out of the window and was almost sick, nothing was done about him, he wasn't a bad guy, he just couldn't stop sweating and didn't seem to have a washing machine at home, but my pocket took a hit for it I can tell you.

I suspect if driver needed to be fit and good looking then there would be an awful lot of empty cabs. :roll: :roll:

Other than mine of course. :D

What do you call "full mufti"? because from where I am from mufti means civilian clothes.

So a man dresses up as a member of the opposite sex, and he complains when he's let go?

What a freak.

These people have mental health issues.

from wiki..

Quote:
The word originates from the Middle East and is Arabic - Mufti (مفتي) means an Islamic scholar who is an interpreter or expounder of Islamic law (Sharia), and is the active form of the Arabic afta, meaning "to judge". It has been used by the British army since 1816 and is thought to derive from the vaguely Eastern style dressing gowns and tasseled caps worn by off-duty officers in the early 19th century. Yule and Burnell's Hobson-Jobson: A Glossary of Colloquial Anglo-Indian Words and Phrases, and of Kindred Terms, Etymological, Historical, Geographical and Discursive (1886) notes that the word was "perhaps originally applied to the attire of dressing-gown, smoking-cap, and slippers, which was like the Oriental dress of the Mufti".[3]


in this case i reffered to the asian male "dress" (for want of a better word)

not sure what its called, cross between Mr Kumar and a Taliban cave dweller..
