CAN you remember Elvis from the 50s? If so, then you're the kind of people Asda, in Monks Cross, would like to employ.

The company is launching a recruitment drive urging people in their 50s and 60s to apply for Christmas jobs at the store.

Marie Edgar, events co-ordinator said Asda wants to focus on the older generation because of their attitude."They are much better with customers. They are more diverse and will try their hand at anything," she said. Marie said some of the positions could become permanent jobs.
