Hairy isn't allowed to wear his sandals to work anymore

or his miniskirt.

Good. Flip-flops are not shoes, and should only be worn on the beach or by the swimming pool. How anybody could even consider them suitable workwear - regardless of how informal the workplace might be - staggers me.

He'll be gutted Jock and especially about the mini skirt. Won't mind the flip flop bit as he usually prefers high heels with his skirts anyway. He looks awesome of course.

Flip flops and driving should constitute a fine or even a driving ban.....an emergency stop is nearly impossible.....your foot can slip out when they are sweaty.

Socks....are to be worked off....ask Carl .

I'm GMB. I'm not sure what Unison are banging on about. It's hot everywhere. I've not worn a tie for about two weeks but wearing trousers and a shirt and shoes isn't too much to ask. It's probably directed more at women although I did see a bloke the other day wearing shorts, socks and a pair of brogues.

Unions don't do themselves many favours with this kind of approach.

Plymouth City Council is not taking an appropriately pragmatic approach to the challenges our members face conforming to their managers' expectations in the current weather conditions.

I've never had a manager tell me what to wear apart from the need to wear safety shoes sometimes but then, they're provided and it's pretty obvious why you have to wear them.

This isn't an issue at all. We got a mesage on the Staffroom but nobody commented upon it - most people are grown up enough and sensible enough to realise they're going to work and not to the beach.

I drive barefoot rather than in me flops.

Driving in Japanese Sea Boots is a bit extreme, but other than that de rigeur.
