I was wondering about the cut of the new trousers. The old navy trousers went and changed cut, forcing me to go from a 34" to a 36" waist, even though everything else I wear at home is still 34". Should I presume that when our office is issued with the new uniform I still go for 36"

Same here a few months back with the trousers. Squashing and bashing made me feel bit sick after about an hour. Couldn't wear them for a second day and had to go back to blue ones. Pity as the black ones look good, but with everything else going on, couldn't put up with strangulation as well.

I've just realised it must be a cunning plan of their's to make us feel fat, by giving us the wrong sized waist, so that we run around more for them :dance

Wish they would bring back the old thermal coat, loved that one.

When it comes to trousers and shorts, wouldn't it make sense to have something similair to walking trousers that have zips to make them into shorts, but sense isn't a word used within RM :arrrghhh
