Don't put a C1 an your CV.

The BBC have a picture and story worthy of local newspapers.

Attractive young woman looking unhappy with reason for her grievance.

Only thing missing is she should be pointing at it.

Not that it is the car's fault - an estate agent was being ageist.

The attractive young woman in question was not shortlisted for a job she applied for because her car was too old.

The estate agents, haart, who are obviously too trendy to use capital letters claimed that, "It's extremely important that people who work for us use reliable vehicles for their own personal safety, particularly where they travel many miles each day and often work alone."

Oh, so they are worried about her safety!

No, they just don't want their image being affected by older cars which may give the impression that they don't pay their staff enough to buy newer car.

That was my take on it anyway.

I can't see a well maintained 2014 Citroen C1 being particularly more unreliable that a 9 year old one.

And if they took on someone with a 9 year old Citroen C1, would they have to sack them in 12 months?

I don't know if they have had a policy change since the BBC highlighted this today, but here's a bit of a job ad for a position they have open today: 

It just says the car has to be in "good condition."

 

Not even "very good condition."

 

Maybe she should apply to this place:
