A call centre providing the governments national flu epidemic service for England has breached rules for employing under 18's by allowing 16yr olds to work past 10pm.

Some of them worked from 4pm til midnight, in the call centre in Watford.

If it's goverment run - seems they can do what they like!! No-one else would employ illegal immigrants as security guards and get away with it!!!!

...Not sure I'd like a 16 year old advising me about my illness either!

It certainly makes you wonder who's on the other end of the phone when you ring these places.

How's the cat, going bald? lol
