I've seen the overalls, one of our lot has them. Its like one of those brown 'removal firm' coat things like wot Ronnie Barker used to wear in Open all Hours. Only its blue. And has got Royal Mail on it. Think it harks back to 'The Stamp era' BE (before email) Mind you, the loon that has got them came from Birmingham.......................

Our night workers (rem those) used to wear them and they looked a right couple of knobs

Yes but not quite as you spelt it:


tr.v. ap·pren·ticed, ap·pren·tic·ing, ap·pren·tic·es
To place or take on as a beginner or learner.

I know this is slightly off topic here,but I tried to order new shoes the other day and was told I needed authorisation from my lino.I last had a pair ordered 10 months ago,and the minimum to re-order these shoes is 12 months lol.I have been wearing my own shoes for the last 2 months.The guy went into great detail over the phone about how these shoes are built to last at minimum a year lol.To which I said"do you know this from experience mate?".My shoes could probably have been classed as a health hazard after 3 months of use!.My manageress also gave me the same bllx when she inspected my shoes"you do know these should last you a year don't you?" I said "I have done a couple of marathons in these,plus I go running every sunday in them" "REALLY!" .. NO! ,,I just walk for 8-10 fkn miles a day X the 300 days that I have had them .If thats not enough to kill a pair of trainers,what is?

So,have you got an order in,if not and they wont let you get your ADR involved.
I can't believe what goes on up and down the country.

Started just over four weeks ago - uniform arrived pretty promptly (8 days in) ... except for the footwear - was told (official) "They tend to come separately" - was told (unofficial) "Have a look on EBay " ... how true is this ?

Wait for them,they can take a while,why spend your own cash on uniform.
