I'm sorry do you speak Eng-ger-lish?

Code of Conduct and how you treat people is extremely important in the public sector and rightly so. I went to a compulsory training course on this very subject with several other people including a senior Scottish director.

The training lady was telling us about acceptance of others from different backgrounds and how it was gross misconduct to treat various groups differently. The Scottish director then joked 'Yes, please try to understand my accent" to which training lady replied "Yes, we should all make an effort to communicate with non-english speaking people". FUNNY!
