Just spotted this interesting article on the BBC new website. Apparently a lot of employers are still asking those applying for positions questions which are now illegal, such as age, experience, religion and family questions. I didn't actually realise those were all illegal but had doubts.
Anyway, here is the article.

Makes interesting reading. But would you have the courage to politely decline to answer those questions? Surely that would piss off your prospective employer? If it did would they be the kind of people you'd like to work for?
