I would say not.
It is a H&S risk (you could get sun stroke).
If someone complains (and lets be fair, there is usually one), you could end up being disciplined. It could be seen as inappropriate behaviour/bringing the company into disrepute etc.

I'm sure most of the ladies (and one or two men!) would enjoy it, but maybe not everyone.

No worries there mate, most intelligent women realise a gun show is just compensation for smaller assets elsewhere. :cuppa

You work for ROYAL MAIL not the Chippendales or some rinky dink sweatshop. Also, having an attitude like that will win you no friends. Comes off as a bit arsehole-y.

If it's really hot then I would consider wearing just a hi-vis.
