i dont know if any of you listened to Steve Nolan on 5 live tonight re the over weight bus driver who was told to come back and try again even tho she has 20 years bus/coach driving experience

see here a picture of her

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/nolan.shtml

and

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7368741.stm

funny cos i just had a taxi medical, height measurement and weighing, the nurse looked pretty concerned, i asked is there a problem, she said well your 4lbs over weight looking at the BMI chart, i said take a look at me boots for starters they must weigh 5lbs

she did say that driving medicals where starting to look into BMI

I thought some drivers are going be out of a job then
