Red shirts - sorry too many bad connotations.

Star Trek - The red Shirt guy hardly ever made it back.

Calling yourself a "Red Shirt" on an internet forum will probably attract the wrong kind of attention from our American friends. :nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I'm a blue shirt myself, mostly because I use the pockets but also because long sleeves make a difference in winter.

Never worn one of them red `shirts` yet make you look like a scarecrow set of scruffy bastards.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Blue, as pockets are handy! I'd use the trouser pockets but anything in them wears them out as I've found out already.

I'm just grateful we have a choice. I can't wear red. I hate it. It's not just football, though it makes you wonder how half of Liverpool, most of Manchester, some of London, and even places like Leeds and Newcastle, would feel if they had to wear bright red shirts.

Blue shirt's with the button down collar's.

Long sleeve in Winter,short in Summer.

Can't stand the red polo's or the 'new style' shirt's.

I know it's only work...but.... :so there
“Shorts,in this weather?!”

“If they’re bills I don’t want ‘em!”

“What’s she been ordering now?”

All we ever hear is how crap the new uniform is !!!!! Because It Is....... So how do they find the creatures in that propoganda voice paper to try and convince us it's great :crazy: :crazy: ...... It's cheap and nasty, even the gaffas boys (and girls) in our office have nothing but complaints for it. I did think the Kagoule was a usefull edition for spring and summer showers, but the thing isn't blooming waterproof..... USELESS the whole lot, bring back the trousers (winter and summer pairs) with the red piping on the pockets and the clarkes shoes, Smart, Profesional and Very comfortable and Efficient, we used to look the part not like a bl..dy piza delivery boy :mad :mad :no no :no no
