I remember the postman's uniform. My uncle was a postman for many years and always had to wear his uniform irrespective of the time of year.

Yes ive noticed they wear grey shorts now

seems as time goes on uniforms get worse everything gets worse.
Cant blame em for wearing shorts in the hot weather though.

Although schoopl uniforms have not changed much well the schools i went to have not changed hardly at all in the last 30 yrs.

Re: Uniforms past v Uniforms today

Traffic Wardens near me used to have a brown uniform with yellow trim, which amusingly was similar to the local grammar school's colours of navy & yellow.

Re: Uniforms past v Uniforms today

Traffic wardens in this area today wear similar clothes to policemen. I thought one was a policewoman the other day until I got up closer. Very misleading indeed.
I do prefer the old post office uniform. Certainly much smarter then the non-uniform of today.

A lot of Posties wear Grey Joggers now Daz ... trendy they are and look the part too!

Re Schools - I know a lot went through the Polo Shirt phase as opposed to Blazer, Shirt & Tie ... though the first encourages Trakkies/Footy Shirts/Joggers way more so I think!!!!

Re: Uniforms past v Uniforms today

I am glad now though (though not in another way) that my school never went down "the Polo Shirt/Sweater Route" ... as a lot of Schools I know through friends kids and onFB - they are "allowed" Trakkie Bottoms/Joggers and Football Shirts/Football Club Polos instead of the Uniform items and Sportswear Jumpers like Nike not the School one!! Though I'd have loved such a a casual idea to Uniform in way!
