That's also what I was told by "Purple door", my university's employment agency type thing who help students find and apply for jobs. I just logged into the uni's portal to look at their materials and the usual pop-up with news had just one entry: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/ju ... ce-romanceThey've obviously had problems in the past with students going on placement!

Not strictly true. If you can prove that being of a particular age or age range is a "genuine occupational qualification", you can ask. To give another example, if you run a Spanish restaurant and you want all Spanish staff, you might have a case to only see Spanish applicants. But you have to satisfy the relevant people, if asked, that having all Spanish staff is essential to your business. You can make anything a GOQ, if your business is geared around it. I can't think of an example to do with age, but it is possible.

There must be so many vacancies for that job, because I know dozens of people who practice for it regularly

It must be very competitive, so many people qualified for the job and willing to put extra hours in to achieve results.

But you have to work for (and with) the police.... and you don't keep the drink

Well, trading standards but still - the authorities. My dads best mate (who owns an off license) got stung - they sent in a 17 year old dressed in a smart business suit, dolled right up, and buying an expensive bottle of wine. He fought it in court and won the case
