How about this for a game - arrange for a day in the none too distant future to turn up to work in "uniform".
The rules are:
You place a sum of money in a pot each time you wish to wear a contentious uniform combination.
You must turn up in some thing that was issued as uniform - not necessarily recently or indeed to you.
If you arrive in work and you are wearing the same uniform as anyone else you must change.....(at least one item must be different) - the army seem to achieve this with no effort.
You must have a plausible reason for wearing the particular combination.
Points are scored for level of interview attained.
If the SWO has a heart attack/aneurism you win the pot.
(please add rules for the game)
