Some people go for bonded.

Forget the lie too, they can sue your ass.

I agree with the point about web searches, they do this a lot now.

It's the kind of crinkly stuff, feels a bit ribbed. I think off-white cream is ok, or white.

...

You can lie on your CV but never lie on an application form. We use them now as most people will lie on them, that's all good until I need to get rid of you, at which point I will check every fact I can as if anything is untrue I can instantly dismiss.

...

Isn't gross misconduct the only 'safe' reason for instant dismissal?

Hopkin doesn't do this himself. He has a highly paid team of legal eagles to do his dirty work for him so he's very 'safe'.

They tell him he's allowed to do it then he gets the pleasure of doing his Sir Alan impression.
