Handle me manually, madamDuring a manual handling course, I was instructed to show the class what a "bad lift" looked like. Basically you bend from the waist. I refused, as I've put my back out doing precisely this. I was told "You have to do it or I won't pass you".
"That's fine. I believe you have a law degree. I believe my mortgage balance is about £47K. How's your savings account?"
Dead silence.
Length? About 8 seconds, followed by 18 months of victimisation.
