    WHS.

    Also, where I am there are about 400 students on work placement schemes so naturally a number of them are young women/girls and with the weather having been mid 20's to 30's the last couple of weeks I've been having to walk bent over at times

    Over the last year and on 2 of the projects I have had had cause to have to work with the students and each time I have been assigned the young girl which has caused no amount of ribbing from the other 2 blokes I share the office with. At the moment it is a very attractive blonde 22 year old

    I haven't yet seen flip flops in the office but I wouldn't be surprised.

    I've worn flip-flops in the office.

    Mind you it was my home office rather than Client Co's office.

    I do that. Reminds me, a relative emailed me some pictures, from a party where I was wearing sandals with socks, of pictures of the said sandals with socks.

    Also pictures where I won several beers in some beer drinking competition or it might have been drinking the prizes in the bike race. Can't remember exactly, was good beer.
