I assume your talking about part of the new uniform in which case what about the new fleece's bright f***ing red. Not only do they treat us like c***'s they want us to look like one as well. Still at this time of year at least it's festive. :nana

And after a few washes, the red fades to orange. And we all know whose company colours they are.

They'll go great with the trousers which turn purple after a few washes. I imagine a postie walking around the Ardoyne wearing an orange and purple uniform might not get much in the way of Christmas tips. :wink:

They were great used to shrink in the wash though so I'd end up wearing a jumper that looked made for a 2 year old
Though I'm not to hard the sight of my card makes me some kinda Superman.

They were awful those jumpers, 100% wool, 100% itchy, looked bloody terrible. Probably still got it somewhere, I wish they would bring the thermal jackets back (the ones with the zip off sleeves), they were great.
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

Trouble was if you went into a pub wearing one of those you'd get dirty looks fom ex-cons who thought you were a
prison officer.

They were brilliant, can't understand why they took them out of circulation.
