PC - rumour has it an IOT stude has complained because he was called a p**f for wearing gloves on a cold morning
And quite rightly too. In case you haven't noticed, Roland, it is now unlawful to harass someone on grounds of sexual orientation. Out in the real world, no-one would have dreamed of calling a colleague or student a 'poof' for years. It's long past time the Service grew out of the playground.

Whether this chap is or isn't gay, the temperature of his hands has sod all to do with his sexuality. The instructor will have offended him if he was straight and will have offended any gay students present.

The instructor should grow up as should anyone who finds his behaviour acceptable.

Yours,
AT
(a warm-handed poof without gloves).
