stupid question...
I'm due to start next month as an opg and have been given a uniform order form and phine number. When I called and have my pay number the chap at the other end said I wasn't on the system yet and to call back after I start. My question therefore is what is the dress code for new starters with no uniform.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Jeans, t-shirt, comfortable footwear. I just got a hi-viz first day, ordered my uniform 3rd day in and it took about 1 week to turn up.

Re: stupid question...
Ask your gaffer if there are any spares you can have, sometimes they dont get returned when sizes are incorrect, you might find a few items in amongst that fits, just to see you through.

Re: stupid question...
they usually give you uniform here after a month because people dont last long,like part timers doing full time rounds and being harrassed if they book it.

dont wear jeans, you'll sweat like a pig! Shorts or light tracksuit will do.

If you get a rash down below don't panic as for some reason we've loads of crotch related threads on here.

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.

Thats true enough you can learn the meaning of postmans hoop
Back on thread. As someone said there is normally a small amount of spare 2nd hand uniform hanging around which depending how you feel about it is up for grabs. A few shirts taken home and washed/ ironed might make you feel like you fit in a bit better untill your new uniform arrives.
Other than that i expect you will be given a sleeveless high vis jacket to put on over a tee shirt. Bit like a road worker really
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Maybe if you are good you could get one of these t-shirts.

Re: stupid question...
Cheers for the advice. As for the chafing I recall William Shatner (a keen horseman) suggesting that wearing ladies tights helped. However I've always believed that you shouldn't mix work and pleasure.
