A horticulture student was left red-faced after sending a job application to a Welsh attraction from the email address 'atleastimnotwelsh'.

James Kettle, 21, who studies at Pershore Agricultural College, also sent his resume to the wrong address, according to The Sun.

Instead of posting it the National Botanic Garden Of Wales, the application ended up in the mail box at Aberglasney Gardens, Carmarthenshire.

Kettle said he felt like a "right fool", explaining: "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."

He had earlier been told in a reply from a manager at the gardens: "It may be prudent to change your email address. It could have a detrimental effect on any career aspirations of working in Wales."

In my job in engineering we recruit mainly 16 and 17 year old apprentice mechanics and electritians as the Scottish Executive won't fund this apprenticeship beyond the age of 19 and some of the e-mail addresses leave a lot to be desired.

Oops on his part, i remember being told that at school, that the email addresses tell the emplopyer a lot about you.
