Jason Grant, a former personal trainer, was hired as period dignity officer for the Tayside region in August last year. The post was meant to involve discussing sanitary products in schools and colleges with students.

I know there are a lot of serious issues at play but I find this whole thing hilarious, it's just so, so bad you have to laugh or cry. Agree with PPs reaching for the popcorn.

And a handy round up here, but no mention of the woman who had complained about being left out of the running.
But apparently that was the FOURTH time he had been employed by a particular person.

I wonder who the Mum and teenage daughter in the publicity shots were.

Also - what is that weird thing that pops up in the adverts? 🤔

No idea how the mum and daughter came to be in the original photoshoot with the bloke who got the job, but it didn't seem to put them off appearing in the same newspaper again this year.
