LAYING “snog, marry, avoid” with colleagues at work could be sexual harassment, a tribunal has ruled.
The “crass” and “inappropriate” game may breach the Equality Act, an Employment judge said.
The risqué quiz involves naming three people and then asking a person to pick which one you would like to kiss, which one you would get married to and which one you would steer clear of altogether.
In the BBC hit comedy Gavin and Stacey, Pam, Mick, Gavin and Smithy played a version of it featuring celebrities during a car ride from Essex to Wales.
However, the tribunal found it may break workplace laws.
The ruling came in the case of a police officer who sued Derbyshire Police after a female colleague involved him in the game — using mugshots of sex workers.
The officer candidly admitted to the tribunal that she had “jokingly” played the game with co-workers and included PC Shafarat Mohammed in their discussion.
PC Mohammed claimed that during the discussion in May or June 2022 he was only shown images of black women and was asked what he liked about one of them.
He said he was “embarrassed” and “offended” by the questioning and felt it was inappropriate.
The tribunal judge said: “We agree that the questions were inappropriate.”
However, the tribunal found there was no racial or religious element to it as the sex workers were of varying ethnicities.
PC Mohammed lost his case for racial and religious discrimination and harassment.

Одним із найсильніших пускових механізмів є їжа. Саме тому правильне харчування може або зменшити кількість нападів, або ж навпаки — погіршити стан. Що не можна їсти […]
