Apparently they can - they were enforcing this rule in my DO last year at threatened people with the conduct code if they did not comply. Although a Union guy will probably rely shortly.

Chances are he will order a pair of shoes for you,then tell you to wear them.
Most offices get away with trainers(dark coloured),some can be funny.
Wearing white will get you noticed,dark trainers you'll probably get away from it.

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.

If Hinge and Bracket get their way, the uniform will soon consist of running vest, shorts, and trainers will be compulsory.

TRAINERS!!

Post by mdtomuk »

IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR RM BOOTS (DON'T TOUCH THE SHOES, THEY SLICE MY ANKLES TO BITS!), TRY NOT TO WEAR RUNNING SHOES, CROSS TRAINERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, STICK TO DECENT WALKING SHOES, I GOT FAB COLUMBIA WALKING SHOES. YES RUNNING, ETC SHOES ARE GREAT FOR THE JOB INTENDED BUT YOU COULD EASILY TWIST OR TURN YOUR ANKLE BIG TIME DOING WHAT WE DO. TWISTING ANKLES CAN REFER TO KNEES, GROINS AND BACKS - AND WE ARE TALKING MONTHS OFF (no bad thing . . . . ed!) YES, AGREED, BUT CAN ALSO BUGGER UP YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE (what quality? remember we are RM posties 2007! . . . . . ed).
