Idiot of the year award ?

Worst job application ever?

A student applied for a job at a Welsh tourist attraction using the email address 'atleastimnotwelsh'.

This guy deserves a prize...............

James Kettle, 21, also sent his job request to the wrong address, reports The Sun.

The horticulture undergraduate sent it to Aberglasney Gardens, Carmarthenshire, instead of the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

A manager at Aberglasney replied: "It may be prudent to change your email address. It could have a detrimental effect on any career aspirations of working in Wales."

James, a student at Pershore Agricultural College in Warwickshire, said: "I feel a right fool.

"I set up the email at school because several Welsh kids were in my year. I forgot it was with my application and didn't mean to be offensive."

If the e-mail address was all one word, I am

surprised the Welsh could read it.

Fair play to the lad, identifying himself as non

Welsh, has got to be seen as a positive.
