I'd settle for not having to ask ones line manager, 10 times for replacement footwear due to the soles wearing out in 8 weeks, thus putting you over your annual allowance...

Did anyone who attended the roadshow request a waterproof coat that didn't piss rain through after the first half an hour ?

The coat isn't good when it's hot & raining but it was definitely rainwater coming down my arms and quite a lot.

Agree with Greengiant, I get fed up having to badger my manager to order me new footwear, when my soles have worn out, after being told that I've gone over my annual allowance

Main thing for me would be allowance for Trousers we should be allowed 6 pairs minimum

You're all doing well wearing the shoes! the 3 pairs I've had (Flex clown shoes, Anvil amd Magnum) gove me bad footache after wearing any of them for a couple of days.

The cagoule doesn't exactly helpnin a quick shower and the orange one leaks.

Why they don't team up with an outdoors company like Trespass or Mountain Warehouse or someone like that baffles me.

Because it would cost money.

Fair point. But you'd like to think they care about quality of goods
