Condescending

Cumbria has issued a "patronising" booklet advising their lowest paid workers to avoid shops and sell unwanted dresses at car boot sales.  The advice also includes: never use shopping as a pastime or entertainment; sell unwanted wedding presents at car boot sales; avoid shopping in supermarkets when hungry; don't walk past favourite shops on the way home from work; consider taking in a lodger.

Union leaders said the money-saving tips, handed out to Cumbria County Council managers to distribute among staff, were "sexist and insulting".
