ABSURD!!!!!
A female teacher is claiming GBP 1m in damages after she was forced to sit in
a chair that made flatulent sounds. Sue Storer, 48, told an industrial
tribunal she was constantly apologising to children, parents and teachers
about the rude noises which emanated from her chair every time she moved.
But the school refused to replace the chair, she claimed.
A year later two male deputy heads got new executive chairs.
"It was very embarrassing to sit on," she told the tribunal.
"I asked for a chair that didn't make these very embarrassing farting sounds."
The divorcee claims the the chair problem was just one example of sexist
behaviour that undermined her position at Bedminster Down secondary school in
Bristol.
She quit her £48,000 a year job last year and is claiming constructive
dismissal and sex discrimination.
.... Does anyone have any other good ideas for making money in this way???
