28 years? You have to ask?

What did you lie about 28 years ago? Let's see, I guess it might have been "of course I love you", or "no, it wasn't your fault". Or maybe "Of course I won't ???? in your !!!!"

Stupidity of the highest degree. The purpose of a CV is to provide clues as to whether you can do a job. If you have been doing the job for 28 years, it is functus officio.

That said, the UK courts, in matters that turn on falsehoods told to obtain jobs, have tended to side with the more anally retentive amongst you.

The one that really pushes my button is the ex-con. He knows he won't get a job if he reveals he is an ex-con. He lies. He gets the job. He goes on up the tree. Plainly he is rehabilitated (the purpose of the relevant systems, no?). The conviction comes out (usually because of a vindictive woman), he loses his job and the rehabilitation is jeopardised. This is civilisation?
