I'm STILL waiting for Uniform to sort out my trousers, as I'm rather tall, and RM refuse to believe my sizes that I sent them for a "custom" pair..

I can't wear them, as the crutch is a little on the tight side, so I sent them back.. Uniform then sent another SMALLER pair...

Going around in a pair of Tracksuit bottoms at the minute - Even the Shorts RM sent ripped after less than a months use, and I'm STILL waiting for them to send a replacement pair!!!
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Not only the polo shirt but all the uniform.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I didn't think MC staff had to wear uniform at all, it was only us customer facing plebs that had to wear it :hmmmm

Perhaps its because with WCM and the crash sorting we have to do in DOs, the plan is to use them to cover the cut offs. :wave

My thoughts exactly, 4 MC's into 1 and a lot of people won't know who are OPG's and who are managers. :cuppa

Ours just wear the uniform but in such a way that most look scruffy and I don't get it, my last job I wouldn't dream of having my shirt untucked so why would I now? You get given it for free so why wear your own clothes?

However shoes seem to be whatever you like too. But I suppose we only shove letters through the door so who cares what we wear?

The latest "uniform "does'nt have to be worn in such away to look scruffy, it is scruffy,cheap and tacky
and no part of it is anywhere near the quality we had in the past and to me just reflects todays management
attitude to the job...a bit like the seventies comedy show "Never the quality,Feel the width"
