Us engineering types don't get to do that...

Same here...

Besides, couldn't following a dress code (especially including dress-down Fridays) be considered Direction and Control and affect IR35 status?

Came to work this morning and noticed just in time my top was inside out - missus never said anything before I left the house !

I always operate a dress down Friday - even if the client doesn't

Whooooaaa. Look at my!

That's the fashion now!

On my first day at Microsoft last year I turned up in a suit - everyone thought I was a security guard.

I think anyone who's worked in the business side of a bank knows you don't turn up on a floor where clients meet their clients wearing combats and a ripped T-Shirt.

I work at a client's site where you'd look like a right plonker if you didn't wear a suit like the rest of 'em. And indeed - whenever 'dress down Fridays' come along I'll take advantage of them, as I hate wearing a suit.

So, today, what do I do? Completely forget it's Friday and leave the house in the uniform of dull corporate mediocrity. B*llocks.

Spookily (and it must be my subconscious coming to the rescue) I'd decided to throw some casual clothes in my bag to change into at the end of the day, not wanting to travel home in formal gear.

So today - I'm very dressed down.

Oh that could have been embarrassing.

I once forgot to wear any pants, and when coming back from the toilet in the office also forgot to zip up, and had my todger hanging out for all the open plan office to see.

Todger - a good, earthy word.
