Hello HJ The same with Monmouth County Council's married typists, who were barred from working and had to resign after getting married. The council voted on overturning the ruling in 1955. This may have had more to do with the soldiers coming home from the war and the shortage of work for both sexes. Gareth --- On Tue, 28/2/12, H.
