Wot no pictures. How remiss of you, El Reg.

Heh, a quick google image search (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=Braless+Spandex+Halter+tops&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=) probably explains the lack of pics.

Barbra Streisand's baps :-(

Don't know if anyone remembers the mad dictator (castro type) decrees underwear must be worn on the outside so it's cleanliness can be checked.

America - a good reason for the Atlantic Ocean

Just checking the invisible woman has her undewear on

Let me be the first to throw my hat in the ring for the position of bra checker.

...while operatives must cover tattoos and "cuts and wounds".

You certainly wouldn't want an exposed gash on public view!

That I am not wearing low visibility under garments?

Where do I apply?

Oh, and my uhh, religion forbids me to take a gander at another gent's lack of undies, therefore I can only work on the female of the species.

When I joined the military, there was still an entry in Queen's Regulations that referred to "Underwear Inspections". An officer was supposed to arrange inspections under this regulation to check on cleanliness and state of underwear of his troops. Furthermore, you were supposed to ensure that appropriate materials were available for inspection of underwear.

A friend of mine once posted in his hangar that he was going to have an inspection under QR 2024. The airmen went off to look up the Queen's Regulation in question and were somewhat surprised to find out that they were going to have their underwear inspected.

Because few people actually look good with excessive metalwork or exposed flesh (me included)

Knicker inspection each morning? What a total bummer!

Your "Buffalo Wings" are safe.

The story refers to a dress code for "City Workers" ie. Council employees, not the entire workforce of the area.

Paris - because she'll never work there again!

You sure that wasn't a Space Corps Directive...? ;-)

... welcome our underwear overloads!

I don't see why this is so exciting. Everyone is reporting on this.

This is just so people can look professional, and give a reason to sack them if they don't.

I'm just glad I don't have to look at plumber's butt and tramp stamps, and deal with a smelly git at the counter that looks like he just quit his other job at the circus.

The counter people around here do NOT look like Paris, and I don't want to see their 50 year old deflated funbags, thank you very much.

But no playmobil. I'm surely disappointed. I'm not sure Optimus would approve.

Anime fans around the globe are now waiting eargerly for the result of what QR 2501 is....

...is the average daytime temperature in Brooksville, FL during this time of year.

I was just there today, and I can tell you firsthand it is like being in an oven outside of the air conditioned buildings.

It is cruel that they are telling city employees to dress appropriately as just about everyone I saw was wearing as little as possible outdoors. Girls in bikini tops and guys going shirtless in shorts, etc. Ah, Florida in the summer, good times.

And do they have rules for women as well?

I guess burqas are -in- if you cut your cheek while putting up some fencing!

..fer the lads.

Guess a "Builders Cleavage" gets 'em sent to Shawshank*.

Mind, Batman's/Robin's/Superman's earlier incarnation would've been OK. They wore their underpants on the outside. Inspection unnecessary. Skidmarks obvious.

* Look it up. Fantastic film. Can't get over it, 3 months after viewing.

...in a lot of companies these days. While I don't like the banning of revealing outfits per se, it might cut down the harassment suits. The deodorant policy is a good idea only if everyone drives to work in air conditioned humvees and those that cycle to work and have onsite access to showers and decent sized lockers.

Sadly, joined-up thinking isn't usually a common company trait (common as in "sense")

IMO, if a company tells you how to dress, what you wear at work should never equate to "what you wore TO work"

The best way around this dress code is to state in the job interview that you're a keen amateur naturist (after weighing up their native intelligence) .Did this once for a job I had no intention of taking and near soiled myself as my interviewer said she spent quite a bit of time in the garden herself , especially this weather ...etc , etc.

Mine's the "anarchy in the uk " cardigan .Ta!

If I worked there I'd expect to be allowed to wear my kilt and there is a special dress code for these which supersedes any other.

And everything under mine is in perfect working order thank you (or so people tell me).

My boss told me it was ok, as long as it's formal clan tartan (no camouflage..)....and no scian dubh!

... or rather, removed easily without special pliers or other tools? Do the pierced ones lose their jobs? If so, is it fair to spring this on them NOW, after they've been offered and accepted the jobs (presumably after having endured the application and interview process with jewellery installed)? And why are earrings exempt? Will men with B-cup or larger he- boobies be required to wear bras (and if not, why not?)? I suspect this decision will cost more in city attorney time than it's worth -- rejoice, o taxpayers of Brooksville, Floriduh!
