An email from a U.K. correspondent:

“I was effectively refused service at Waitrose deli counter in London's Kings Road on Sunday, as the Muslim behind the counter "can't handle pork." This from behind a barricade of hams and salami. He offered me some cheese instead.

I rang the manager the next day and asked if he could help me with my application to be a fighter pilot, which I cannot fill out because I'm blind.”
