‘Talk posh to get on at work’

THREE-QUARTERS of us believe posh

people have better access to job and career

opportunities, research reveals.

More than half of those surveyed reckon

there is a stigma around regional accents,

especially when jobhunting in London.

And a fifth admitted they have had to

alter the way they speak and change their

dialect in order to be successful at work.

Equality Group, which carried out the

study, said: “Employees should be proud of

their backgrounds, and their professional

environments should value their diversity

of experience and thought, not dampen it.”

couldn’t turn round. I carried on and

the car got stuck in a ditch, that’s when

I started to panic.” He had no phone

signal to check his location, but called

112. He said: “Without my location
     there was nothing they could do.
     “I started doing
     anything I could think of
     to find my location on my
     phone. I managed to find
     my latitude and longitude
     and got hold of my
     cousins to tell them.”
     It was another three
     hours before they got to
     Mohammad early last
     Saturday. He later paid
     £750 to get towed back to
     a road. He said: “I’d advise
     others to be vigilant using
     sat navs in rural areas.”
     Simon Henrick, from the Green Flag
     breakdown firm, said: “Sat navs can
     literally send you down the wrong path.”

Directions left driver marooned

IN 100 metres, turn left, drive

across a farmer’s field and park up

in a water-filled ditch...

Mohammad Zafar, 35, followed his

sat nav’s directions and

ended up stuck in a ditch

in the Lake District in the

dead of night.

Mohammad took a

wrong turn as he drove

from his home in Roch-

dale, Gtr Manchester, to a

campsite near Winder-

mere, but his Mini Coun-

tryman’s sat nav insisted

he was on the right track.

He said: “It was pitch

black and it started taking

me on to a really narrow

track, but I still thought it was fine

because the sat nav was telling me to

go that way.

“Then I noticed it was saying I was

two hours away, but by that point I
