A thirty stone man has been sacked because he was too fat to get through the security turnstiles at work.
Graeme Ivison, 27, also couldn't fit into his decontamination suit at the British Nuclear Fuels plant at Sellafield, Cumbria reports the Mirror.
A spokesman said: "He was too overweight to complete tasks essential to his role."
Health physics monitor Graeme, from Whitehaven is fighting for his job back. He said: "I'm gutted. I can't tell you how chuffed I was to get a job at Sellafield."
"How do you think it feels to have those things said about you publicly?"
No ADA in the UK?
It would upset me.
I would probably lose my apetite over it.
HEAVY man!
The solution is obvious: lose weight!
Criminy. I mean, I'm overweight, but I can fit in my bunny-suit to do my cleanroom work. If I couldn't, I probably wouldn't have my job either.
