Perhaps they should offer him a new "roll"

[NickFitz]

They did buy him a diet book, which he said was very nice.

with gravy?

He's Scottish - deep fried in batter, surely?

[Chugnut]

Maybe his Backdraft has been adding fuel to the fires.

The guy didn't get to be this unfit overnight, surely he could have been helped in some way before it became this confrontational ?

Grampian Fire and Rescue Service said it had been forced to act after a "very long and arduous process of support and consideration".

Bit unfair, he could be moved to different duties. Perhaps a human trampoline for when they need to jump out of burning buildings.

All this arty farty poncy la de da bloody human rights and what not.

Why should the fire service have to accommodate an employee that isn't fit for purpose, as contractors we all know if you can't do the job, you don't GET the job (or at least not for long).

If you're a fire fighter you should be able to do your job.

[Edit: Chantho beat me to it] The only argument here is that the fire service were lax in letting it get to this stage. Maybe a quick " 'ere Dave you look like you could do with cutting down on the pies, too many marshmellows on the picket lines eh?" a year or so earlier would have helped!

Looking at the pic, he does seem rather portly. Now they may strike. It makes me believe even less in the value of unions...

"He hasn't done anything wrong, he just turns up for his work. He just doesn't fit the bill, that is what it comes down to."

He looks friggin huge!
