Meh. Daily Mail.

Bound to be something they're neglecting to mention, or exaggerating.

Or perhaps an important requirement for the job was the ability to be fluent in Romanian? Y'know to be able to communicate with the workforce?

In England?... Surely the workforce understanding the culture and people they serving is more important? The mentality of this nation is frightening now.

Well this is England where we respect others cultures and beliefs so the work force should be able to speak and understand English. There is nothing more insulting than using a service and the person serving can't understand a word you are saying.. I've lived in a lot of country's a d I can tell you it wouldn't happen there. We are a weak spineless nation now. Scared of upsetting anyone.

There's no need; we all know that everything gives you cancer, according to the Fail.

Being Romanian would not be a GOR but having the ability to speak Romanian might be a skill needed for the role.
