But we've just had our id badges, so RM are trying do something about security but then they let this happen.

Checking my jackets none of them say they are RM property. This would effectively make this kind of thing unlawful as it's theft and/or reset. This may well be someone who was in the job for a few months then left with everything, safety boots included. After the recent heavy fine, you'd have thought they would have tightened things like this up.

I think the shoes/boots are surplus stock from previous suppliers including DM.

Didn't know that RM did Bill Grundys as well. Is that in case we get propositioned on the job?

I look on ebay for shoes or boots as it saves arguing with idiots on the phone saying 'shoes/boots will last for 2 years'.

Anyone have a new pair of RM Doc Martin boots size 10.5? can't find an online supplier.

I may be slated for this, but anyone needing RM shoes £25 + £5 p&p:

lol, not sure RM shoes with 'Royal Mail' embossed on the heels would convince anyone you worked for RM;
