What is hacking you off today?

[SUFC_Ross]

I work in insurance, and I'm sitting in my office with shorts and sandles on...just to rub it in :winking:

you bit*h! what sector are you in?

 

[MK Shrimper]

you bit*h! what sector are you in?

Surfboard insurance I'm betting.

Our dress code changed last year, but that only applies for non client facing roles. Try getting into Lloyds without a tie!

well I understand having to put my tie on when going to see underwriters/agents/TPA's or going into Lloyds, but in the office with no clients coming into our office what so ever, where's the harm in letting people loosen a tie and undo there top button?

very good, haven't you got work to be getting on with? heard the trains are up the swanny today!

Probably but **** the commuters. :smile:

In all seriousness, hot weather and railways don't get on. Tracks can buckle to easily and that's not my job guv'nor.

the train companies do, on quite a regular basis!

The only issue for me is that the boys are struggling to sleep. We ended up taking my eldest's duvet downstairs. He slept on the sofa in the lounge where it is much cooler. If we had this kind of weather for more than a couple of days every other year I'd invest in air conditioning. Other than that, bring it on!

When we moved in to our house, there were these really ugly ceiling fans. My first thought was - "let's get rid of these" - but come summer (we moved in during the winter) I hadn't got round to it and they've actually been a god send.

Although now the kids are in mid-sleeper beds, they are within touching distance of the fans, which does worry me a little!

you lucky lucky SOB, I'm based over by Aldgate east, I work for a broker and we deal mainly with North American property and liability binding authorites, some US,Canadian and UK trucking facilities and UK contractors liability.

My only quibble is the fact I have to wear a suit and tie even in this heat, but I'm still not complaining as the evenings are wonderful and nice to sit in the garden after a long day

We're casual dress here, but some blokes are wearing shorts today - that's a step too far for me, I'm not a gardener.

I shudder to think what my Dad - long sleeves, double cuffs, cut-back collar and tie, even when working in the humid Gibraltarian summer - would have made of the modern day office dress code!

Indeed. Casual dress here, but shorts & sandals are a no-no. Women are supposed to not wear short skirts or dresses but some have ignored that rule, and it's a disgrace. :smile:

I have and it's never been an issue.

Popping in to your local branch to cash in your penny jar doesn't count.

It is getting quite grey and windy in MK at the moment. It's going to **** down isn't it, and of course I've got no coat or brolly. :sad:

This Pokemon Go bollox. Just had a safety report of some dimwit kid going onto the train tracks to "retrieve" their Pokemon. Wasn't like it in my day I can tell you. :nope:

Seeing an idiot today on his powerful motorbike with not only himself in just shorts and a t shirt, but his young son riding pillion with the same attire. These people will learn their lessons when they come off and have no skin left!

It's bad enough coming off a mountain bike with no pads.

Exactly! It's pure laziness, I put my full leathers on with boots and gloves in the searing heat. Who gives a **** if I get a bit sweaty the fact is if I come off I have a better chance with all the gear than without it.
