I was a teenager/early 20's in the 1980's. Worked in a really big office and it was a you described. Everyone really enjoyed it, but it would be viewed as as wrong by the PC brigade now.... Bring back those days of sexual tension I say!

No problem old fruit so in broad terms...

Grade 5 CSE = secondary school, below national average expectation

P scales / levels = starting around infant classes, for the less able

I remember CSEs, they were for the kind of people who watched Magpie instead of Blue Peter.

Pah!

Real education (before Shirley Williams/Labour fubared it) was 'O' Levels.

GCSE's were handed out for filling your name in.

Spot on. This thread is a rich source of evidence as if more were needed.

Man of certain age and certain weight uses violence against work colleagues, is then sacked/doesn't have contract renewed and it's all down to the lefties/BBC/PC brigade?

Only on PH.

Sorry, yes, originally CSE's till 1988.

Class 1 CSE was supposed to be the equivalent of a 'C' pass 'O' level, but the reality was it was nothing like, the coursework was a joke in comparison.

GCE = 'O' level
CSE < GCE

GCSE = kids today

It is completely bizarre why some are attempting to put a political slant on this.

You won't find any of the political parties attempting to justify JC's most recent or previous misdemeanours, or criticising the decision not to renew his contract.

Times have changed and what was once acceptable no longer is. Plus ca change.

A guy from my office was sacked in January this year because he got to drunk at the work Christmas do in December and said some quite lairy/suggestive things to a few women of the office.

One phrase he uttered was "Phwooaaar! Look at the arse on this one!" whilst leering at my admin girl Stacey who was wearing a black leather mini skirt and high heels.

Seriously he was sacked for a drunken comment at a Xmas do.... PC gone mad.

Yep. I kid you not.

It was a work do where we all went to a a conference type thing in the afternoon with staff award presentations and all that, then got ferried to a large hotel in coaches, where we proceeded to have dinner and drinks followed by a bad DJ and 'disco' as you get at these sort of things.

There was the best part of 200 people there, and a few got quite tipsy on the drink provided by the company, but it was all good natured, but this guy took it too far by getting fairly blind drunk and then making his way around being very suggestive and extremely lewd to the women, and I believe slapped a few on their backsides etc.

They complained about his behavior and he was sacked for conducting himself in such a manner at what was classed as a work function.

I bet he had fun explaining to his wife why he got sacked.

I can see it from both sides. He's a grown adult. If he can't behave in the company of colleagues even after a drink then they don't want him. Simple as that.

From his point of view, it was free drink and a Christmas party and he wasn't technicaly 'at work'.

That describes pretty much every Christmas party from twenty years ago...

Also OT and coincidentally the nice 'admin girl' at a current client's head office is also called Chelsea. She's not orange but was at the front of the queue when they were handing out performance indicators.
