I learned something today. If your sexual orientation is heterosexual and you make a list of the most fanciable women at work and email it to a colleague, then it is harrassment. If you make a list of fanciable members of the same sex, it is "A grey area".
I found this out courtesy of this story about Barnets brand new Mayor courtesy of the EVENING STANDARD.
Seems like our new Mayor has been very busy ! It seems he is rather "embarrassed" - not half as embarrassed as those on the list, no doubt.
************ Update ***********************
An eagle eyed reader has pointed out to me that this is an old story. The date is 6th Jan 2003, long, long ago. I must apologise as I thought the story date was the promenent date in the blue bar on the Standard. Clearly this was the act of a callow youth and our Mayor would not dream of doing such things now. The Barnet Eye is happy to report that Mr Coleman was not our esteemed Mayor at the time of the incident. Many apologies for inadvertently giving the wrong impression. I wonder if the legal grey area has been clarified?
It might be an old story, but a leopard doesn’t change its spots.
