And sorry to go back to an earlier part of this but something Lizzie said about her daughter being "headhunted" puzzled me.

That's a term usually used for high level jobs which need very specific skills and there is a good reason for it.

The reason people only use it in that context because to "headhunt" people is against all good employment practise in terms of equal opprtunities and can be seen to be discriminatory. Personally I am sure the National Trust would not want to be seen to bedoing that.

Of course if it is just local work, in a shop for example then people are generally not too bothered. Nothing wrong with it - but even then there might be other people who could have done the job equally well who might feel aggrieved that someone was "headhunted" for such a position.

Just a thought.
