Used to get the same argument then, but if you're out in the shitty rain all day just saying, "They issued it and I'm going to wear it!" doesn't keep you dry. :sad:

Yanks used to have a saying, "Remember your equipment has been supplied by the lowest bidder" same goes for us Royal Fail can't afford to issue us with decent kit. :wave
No but they can afford to send three vans on schedules on the same industrial estate 5 days a week

The fleece could be bright purple with pink dots all over it for all I care, it's a uniform that's provided FREE and serves a purpose that purpose being to get worn out from all the work I do rather than my own clothes and shoes getting worn out. I work on deliveries so I don't walk to work in the evenings it also means that due to the amount work I do I wear out trousers, shorts and shoes quite fast. I used to wear my own trainers on delivery when I first started but quickly stopped when the soles were getting worn out after a month. However standing round in a MC sorting packets or reading The SUN next to the LSM isn't going to wear out a pair of jeans or trainers any time soon :wink:
