There may be a riot up at the station as the new uniform has arrived. There is a big notice on the cardboard box saying ‘hands off’ while it gets sorted.
Regular readers will probably know about our uniform and the fact that we are only allowed a certain amount each year. We get given points which we can ‘spend’ on items – this year it was 50 points, yup 50 big ones. We ordered back in August and the kit has just arrived.
Some items like the Coastguard polo shirts are 10 points, socks 5 points and hats 25 points. A jacket however is a zillion points and in order to get one the team have to be persuaded to throw their leftover points into the bucket so that someone can have a jacket. Buttons are extra.
Well this year it’s Brian turn. He’s been banging on about a jacket for years as he doesn’t think jumpers suit him; he’s also gone for a posh hat I believe and a new belt.
So Brian will look like the bees knees this year while the rest of us slum it in coastguard socks and pants.
