The new shirts are rubbish and don't fit me at all, I'm stuck with a small frame and big tits so the the shirt is loose and baggy but tight across the chest :oops: . That cagoule is crap, it makes you sweat and it's not waterproof in the slightest. The shorts and trousers are okay but only because of the pocket on the leg which has been long overdue but why only one pocket on the leg and why on the left ffs? Most people are right handed.

I still have my old harrington with the removable body warmer inside, that was class. I wish they would bring that back.
the old harrington doesnt have a removable body warmer inside
Mine does, I got it in 2003 it has a removable inner liner that can be worn as a body warmer. Later harringtons didn't have this I've noticed.
that sounds like a waterproof
I also have an old style stormproof jacket that has a quilted removable liner that zipped out fantastic it is, kept me very warm in the snow. I'll post some screen shots of them both later, you must have seen them as there's still some people at my office that wear the body warmer from the Harringtons because they are so warm.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

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
