No, he's from Southampton. He was a very unhappy smiley because of their manager getting the boot. So I gave him some work and cheered up a treat!clashcityrocker wrote:His looks to be from Eastern Europe as well.fishtank wrote:Excuse me but we have our own thumbs up smiley guy.Dj Silver wrote:![]()

Why did you not order another pair of RM footwear before they split

Re: No company footwear
Yeah I've got the same problem, been trying to get some new CAT Trainers for a while but they seem to be out of stock? Mine are getting worst by the day, and i don't see why i should fork out for work wear, I haven't asked but i doubt RM would reimburse if i did?eastie wrote:I did 5 weeks ago but my size was out of stock , been complaining to the DOM about them not arriving for about 3 weeks so rang the uniform line myself and was told they were out of stock for my size and put on "back order"??krussel wrote:eastie wrote:I have CAT Trainers that have split along the seams on both of them , they are sh1t in wet weather and not fit for purpose

AH! Apparently can also be doubled up as a snow protector! You need to put it in the freezer overnight but then when snow slides off a roof the hardened brim deflects the snow!maisymoo04 wrote:Dj I no what it was mate just wondering what sun ha

No offense by why on earth do you want to order Kat trainers for winter use
Why not simply ask what is available and stick with that
