"I saw the job advertised in the paper, and as I was unemployed and on benefits I was keen to get back into work. I'd done similar jobs in the past so when I was called in for an interview I was reasonably confident.
It all went well at first, but towards the end of the interview I was asked whether I could speak Polish.
I said no, I couldn't, and that was pretty much the end of that.
Although they didn't put it in writing, they told me that the language barrier was a problem and that I wouldn't be getting the job."

Tail wagging the dog?
Personally I have nothing against honest hard-working people coming to this country to make better lives for themselves and their families. But surely they have to understand at least the basics of English. For emergencies, of course, and to communicate with the boss.
Or am I missing something?
