A businessman is boycotting Jobcentres after complaining that the school leavers they sent him trudged in with hangovers and spent all their time checking their mobile phones or Facebook.
Garden centre boss Richard Haddock, aged 54, despaired of the youngsters he was sent and has branded Britain’s new generation of teenagers as having no work ethic and unfit for the labour market.
He is now recruiting older people and workers from abroad after abandoning hope of being able to find suitable candidates at the Jobcentre.
The frustrated boss says the only school leavers he now employs are those from his local grammar school.
