I'm needing new trousers, but dimensions wont let me order it cause we're getting new gear.
I ordered trousers last week and got the old ones so they're still handing them out.

Picked my Uniform up last week and tried it on Friday, The verdict...It must be a left handed Man/Woman who invented the cargo trousers as the pocket is on the left and I'm right handed, no good fo me, might as well get the wife to sew that pocket up. Two pairs of trousers they broke their heart on that one, should be three at least..
The fleece will be like a sauna for those that wear them on stairs.
The Sun hat is a friggin Joke.
Its time they started supplying socks
Not tried the Blue Blouses on yet...

Saw one of the new Red kagools today, they look really flimsy, I see a few being discarded on the odd rose bush, and whats the point of a red jacket and having to wear an orange hi vis over the top, why not put reflective stripes on the kagool,.....or is that too logical and too easy. :whistle

Just make sure you order everything, make them pay even if you don't wear it :wink:

ps. The belt is crap, it's a buckle thingy that apparantly get stuck and you have to cut them off :chuckle

Get who does your stock ordering to order a load.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It's because after a couple of washes the reflective stripes stop being reflective. It's easier and cheaper to replace a high-viz than a jacket with reflective strips on.

Items like fingerless gloves and shoe chains are bulk ordered by the DOM, which means you'll never get any.

Has anyone got a sizing chart? I'm trying to fill this uniform form out but no specific sizes listed only XS-XXXXL.
