Another Quality Evening Post Headline



I'm sorry.  I shouldn't have.  But when I read this story, I just kinda laughed.






'SEXIST ABUSE' BOSS CALLED STAFF BITCHES


A saleswoman was subjected to a daily torrent of sexist abuse by a boss who undid her bra strap, put his head on her breasts and slapped her bottom, a tribunal heard.

Maria Maniglia, of Brislington, says her managing director Robert Clarke downloaded hardcore pornography onto her computer and called her a "fat, fiery, Sicilian bitch" when she complained.


Ms Maniglia, aged 40, is suing telecommunications firm Fokus Systems for sex discrimination and unfair dismissal.


"Mr Clarke put his head on my breasts on more than one occasion, and he used to slap my bum on its left cheek.

"Mr Clarke undid my bra strap when I leant over the desk with my back to him. I had to use my cardigan to cover- up my left breast before I could get to the toilets.

"There would be pornographic pictures on my computer and he'd call me over and say 'come and have a look at this' - I found it deeply unpleasant.

"I used to call him a pervert, which he didn't like.

"He called me a fat, fiery, Sicilian bitch.

"He would call himself the lord and master and called people his bitches and minions - I used to go home crying."







Reading the article, it sounds like she was having a bit of a crappy time there, but...  I just couldn't get that Vicki Pollard impression out of my mind.  Try reading it in a Bristol accent.  Especially the word 'Bitches'.


Anyone think she shoulda just kneed him in the nuts?

Hehehe no.. I actually had to double check and make sure this wasn't my old boss

I know that sounds really awful, but he was a total perv, but a non-threatening perv. He just was... and it was funny... ask Andromeda.. she knows

What I don't understand is why they keep calling Stead "Robert Clarke"

I think you're mistaken, Hengle.  I'm pretty sure they're calling him 'Fat Sicilian Bitch'.

No, no, no. When you take out fiery it loses all meaning

Hear that, Stead. Apparently you have no meaning! Jackie say so - so it must be true.
