[Andy in Germany]

When I was hiring warehouse staff which was weekly any CV that came in with a photo was never read & put straight in the bin.

Really, why?

Here employers prefer it but for some time they haven't been allowed to demand it. It is usually accepted that any job dealing with the public (or in my case with people generally) you should have a picture.

Now all the food/meat based puns have finished I'll be reading through three pages of posts.

It'll take a while but eventually I'll ketchup.

D*mn, now I need to start again.

Really, why?

Because in the ones I received anyone who put a photograph on tended to be, how can I put this politely so as not to upset you, a pretentious idiot, who thought they were being clever by doing it, but this was nearly 20 years ago so the concept may have changed, but I'd never submit a CV with a picture, as somebody once said I have the perfect face for radio.

You shouldn't be trying to obtain a lady's loo anyway.

The cheek of it sirrah.

Doesn't upset me, don't worry. It's considered a good idea here so I'm being culturally sensitive to the natives...

Well, everyone knows that music is the food of love, not custard.

Although I'm rather partial to a slice of custard tart myself...

Maple cured you fool, naturally of course black treacle cured is simillarly acceptable.

Fool?

I am a firm believer in choice. Although that's usually dictated by what's available on YS...

If food be the music of love, eat up,,eat up.

Figures. All my life I've fought against imperialism, and now i *am* the expanding Cambridgeshire frontier...

He'll be wanting some cheese to go with that...

Does he have to gorge out on it?

I doubt @Andy in Germany could eat his way through the several kilos that appear to have taken up residence in my fridge... I sincerely hope he likes Y-Fenni cheddar, Manchego and Old Amsterdam...
