Wearing a tie for work

SWEDISH BLUE:
Pay me £500 a week take home and i will wear a skirt if they want me too :open_mouth:

£500 a week take home gets, baggy cargo trousers and an oily tee shirt. Up the ‘ante’ and a tie may well be proportionate/justifiable…

Last time I wore a tie (albeit a black one with a white shirt)((well the job was in it’s funeral pire by then anyway)) was when doing Agency work for Stobart’s out of their old Woolfox Stamford Depot on the southern A1 carriageway side. Circa 1992 as I recall :blush:

I remeber the Agency (Manpower) said if you don’t wear a tie, you’ll be turned away. I had a blast trunking trailers all night from Stamford to Wisbech in a ■■■■■■■ powered Ford Cargo with my tie on… :astonished: :stuck_out_tongue: :grimacing:

Stobart’s (gotta love 'em!) have a confused uniform policy now they are so high in the public eye. I really would have thought nowadays would have been the time when wearing a tie was probably justified (compared to 10 or 15 years ago). I recently turned up at their Crick emporium on a blisteringly hot day wearing cargo shorts and a buttoned up shirt, but was promptly escorted off site and told to go home and change. Oh well, fair do’s, but I just love testing the water and pushing boundaries. . . :grimacing:
