Over the years, the auld boy has been known to discuss how he sometimes feels like he’s being watched when he nips to the bog for a single fish after a few drams at his local.
Having seen his local, the chances are fairly good that he IS being watched, but we’ll leave that one there.
So his hackles were raised when he learned that flat-pack and meatball specialists Ikea have found themselves in hot water after surveillance cameras were discovered in a ceiling void above staff toilets and locker rooms at one of its distribution centres.
Speaking to the BBC, ironically-named former employee Shannon Bodily expressed dismay that her bodily functions may have been caught on camera. “I feel vulnerable, I feel violated,” she quite rightly said.
Ikea’s response? Make sense of this, if you can: “For the purpose of maintaining a safe workplace for all co-workers, surveillance cameras were installed in the void above the ceilings in the bathrooms and locker areas.”
