    Todger - a good, earthy word.
    I like to call mine Todge. and if i get any i usually call it Tadge.

    Either that of there is far to much sausage on this forum and not enough turkey.

      I would, in fact I worked at RBS in t-shirt, jeans and trainers.

      I always ask in an interview if there's a dress code and if there is, I thank them and leave/hang up the phone.

      It's still direction and control though, regardless of whether you think a bank should be exempt.

        Interestingly (or not), round my way Todge means rubbish, as in "what a load of old todge".

        Obviously not round your way.

          What's the problem? I prefer casual but having to wear a tie is small beer.

          It isn't an IR35 indicator either. Unless perhaps you actually tell Hector that you really want to wear casual clothes but your boss won't let you, and even then I doubt Hector has sartorial elegance on his list of indicators.

              Contractor lesson number one: Turn up looking like sh1t and the client will think you are sh1t

              Turn up in a suit and you get away with anything
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Perhaps that's what he means - it is a girl's area where his todger has come from!
