Tuck your shirts in by all means but take your arm's out of the sleaves first and stand around with your arms sod all use to any employer unable to work under these restrictive practice's!. :dance

I don't do tucked in shirts, so I guess I will have to wear the red polo shirts :roll:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I didn't know you could get skirts and culottes - is it just outerwear you can order? :cool

Is that the most up to date uniform code? Seeing as we don't get a tie, sleeveless fleece or dust jacket nowadays. Also it says we should get 3 pairs of trousers in 2 years but they won't let me have any more than 2 pairs until I've been there another year

Tis the only one that I could find unless you know of another more up to date one, and in the best traditions of the CWU National Agreements stand. :wave

Not now. The thickest woolliest thermals I can get - I don't want to get arthritis in the nether regions - it causes stiffness you know.
