If you think thats petty, wait until you have a day off on the sick, they hang you for being ill.

There's a guy in our office wears a Spurs baseball cap....now that I do find offensive :whistle

Have a good think about it,people will find it offensive and if I was a union rep I wouldn't in all honesty be able to defend you for wearing it.I work alongside people of all colours and beliefs,none of them extremists all like me just wanting to come to work and earn enough to get by,none of them would do anything like that to make me feel awkward and I wouldn't want to make them feel awkward,live and let live brother and I do love my Country I spent a long time wearing green for it

Is that some sort of anti-jew sentiment there :hmmmm :nervous :whistle :whistle

Anyway, surely they should be pitied for actually supporting Spurs (LTommo not included in that :whistle ).

LOL! one letter mistyped caused all these rants! I dont see a problem really with EDF hat although if your boss is moaning about it might be worth just getting a different hat for the sake of peace and quiet.

Are you sure? Then why: "as far as im aware it is not a banned political org"? Are the people in the office confused as well?

Quite worrying that, not the fed ex thing, the fact is seeing his underpants :nervous
It was just a brief glimpse !
