Sandie Peggie, a nurse at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy (VH), has brought claims in the employment tribunal against her employer; Fife Health Board (the Board) and another employee, Dr B Upton. Ms Peggie’s claims are of sexual harassment, harassment related to a protected belief, indirect discrimination and victimisation. Dr Upton claims to be a transwoman, that is observed as male at birth but asserting a female gender identity.

The Employment Tribunal hearing started on Monday 3 January 2025 and is expected to continue for 2 weeks.

@WearyAuldWumman

Yes I used Dr (phd) when arguing for my knee replacement which perked things up somewhat

At least they'll all be able to talk about it amongst themselves now, it must have been a nightmare.

And now Ms Peggies daughter. Bizarre

Perhaps to refute the homophobia allegation?

This is more of the same as to what she witnessed when SP got home

Mmmnotsure · 05/02/2025 15:41

Sandie Peggie's daughter. Sweet child!

They were thin on witnesses. He was there to corroberate her experience. On balance, they may trust that his own views wont sway the panel.

Boiledbeetle · 05/02/2025 15:41

Another relative, Nicole SPs daughter

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/02/2025 15:41

Now Sandie's daughter.

I agree @desiringtoremainsane

<fly Fifer raises hand in agreement>

After I retired, I had an ortho appointment at the Vic. The consultant who saw me - and told me that they couldn't consider knee replacements for at least another 10 years - explained that my problems were genetic: each knee falls into the category of patella alta - the arthritis is only a contributory factor.

I nodded and (in Standard English, albeit with my Fife accent) said "Thank you - at least I know now."

"Oh, you won't understand what "patella alta" means..."

"I did Latin at school. I presume you're telling me that my knees sit higher than they should." (No, I didn't say that in a snotty manner.)

He seemed rather astonished.

With other doctors at the Vic, I noticed that their attitude changed somewhat when I gave my profession as "teacher" or "retired teacher".

Is it normal for a spouse to be questioned in this kind of tribunal? Do I have to account for what my bloke sings on the terraces at Stamford Bridge* whilst I'm at home watching repeats of Murder She Wrote?

That was utterly pointless, apart from being an attempted character-assassination-by-proxy.

No idea who is up now

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/02/2025 15:40

I'm not sure what evidence he can give on her behalf

To back up her account of being upset. I thought he did that ok.

HarpQuartet · 05/02/2025 15:40

No idea how that is going to feed into anything, except for the bit where he corroborated that his wife was having a horrible time at work.

Boiledbeetle · 05/02/2025 15:40

Sounds off

chilling19 · 05/02/2025 15:39

God, you couldn't make this tribunal up.

Well she did live with a bit of a racist 🤣

Show quote history

Touche!

Boiledbeetle · 05/02/2025 15:39

NC asks if he authored any of the posts, he replies no.

He's finished now

I think it's a:

How Unlike the Home Life of Our Own Dear Queen

thing.

Well she did live with a bit of a racist 🤣

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 05/02/2025 15:38

Short and sweet.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/02/2025 15:37

Why is this remotely relevant to his wife?

Well women aren’t relevant except in connection to men. Obviously.
