Postmen uniform for Posties at the palace

Post by scum_opg »

i was chatting with a guy a few weeks (or was it months ago now :hmmmm ) that mentioned that while most RM staff have had the uniform casualised over the last 10-15 years to a fleece etc instead of actual jackets ... that Royal Mail staff that work at the delivery/sorting/dispatch office at Buckingham Palace still retain a more formal uniform...
i was wondering if anyone on here knows how formal is formal... i mean are they still wearing shirt, tie and proper jacket style uniforms or what... especially with the "new" uniform being even more casual than the "blue" uniforms

Likely a proper tie, jacket with brass buttons and the old style hat with the brass cap badge I reckon. Oh and shiny crippling shoes, no Cat trainers.

One of the guys in our place has been mithering for a new fleece for ages without success, so he went rumaging in a cloak room upstairs and found a very old formal RM blazer complete with brass buttons, which he now instists on wearing all the time, looks hilarious.
