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.

Re: Policy on wearing uniform
While we are on the uniform subject, do we already get the tax relief?

Might upset a few people in my office! most of those that don't possess an iron, or the skill to use one. 
More Ammo in the locker for when the DIM decides to have a go. The scruffy bastards in my office were well chuffed when the polo shirts came in. IMO I think they look scruffy, better a well ironed Blue Shirt, but I suppose there's people out there that would still like us to wear ties! In their eyes I'm probably a scruffy bastard!

Re: Policy on wearing uniform
I prefer the polo shirts, they're more comfortable and they don't leave visible sweat-marks. Ultimately, we do an increasingly physical job. I don't think it's unreasonable that the work-force dispenses with looking smart in favour of feeling comfortable. Whether others look at me and think I'm scruffy or lazy with an iron (I am, for what it's worth) doesn't matter to me.

Re: Policy on wearing uniform
When the polo shirts were first introduced they were for non customer-facing jobs only but this has since been relaxed and everyone is allowed to wear them. I prefer my blue shirts though because they aren't so thick and the pockets are handy.
