How long do your Y-fronts last at work?

Post by postypie »

With the amount of walking I am doing nowadays(like most posties) my skids usually last no more than three weeks before holes start to appear?
Five weeks and they are in tatters!
Can we get an allowance for new skids/knickers etc.?

I cannot believe someone has actually put this on. :Applause

The answer is not very long...

Is there some sort of Tax Relief one can get for this? The cost does build up over time :whistle

Don't know about that Fishtank. It'd solve those parking problems as well as providing a welcome cooling breeze.
