Have you lost out on a job because of your weight?

I saw this on another website (bigmatters.co.uk), and I've spoken with the man. He's rather lovely, and sounds committed to helping expose and eradicate discrimination against large people. I know he'd welcome some additional participants in this research (it is research, not a legal issue):

Employment law firm, Thomas Mansfield, are looking to speak to anyone who believes that they’ve missed out on a job because of their weight… Or anyone that has been negatively treated at work due to their weight… This is in relation to research carried out by Thomas Mansfield into the discrimination of obese job applicants by HR professionals and recruiters in the UK. This research has found that a dangerously high number of recruiters and HR professionals consider obesity a negative trait – an opinion that is being factored into the decision process. Any response would be welcomed (anonymous or otherwise) – please email [email protected] or call 0113 212 1211 and ask for Matt Chappell.
