Sole destroying

Posted 16/05/2008 by The Daily Diary

With the week-long British summer taking place earlier this month, the weather has been warm enough to shift the debate on the appropriate workplace wardrobe from fishnets to footwear.

The Diary has previously reported on the dangers of turning up to training contract interviews in bejeweled flip-flops… now even flip-flops of the non-spangled kind are falling foul of the fashion police.

Over at Canary Wharf, Clifford Chancers were issued with a memo detailing the misfortune of one CC lady who tragically “had her toes mangled in the escalator”; as a result, it was concluded that flip-flops were no longer welcome in CC Towers.

However, a quick call to TfL reveals that shoelaces are regarded as far more hazardous than bare toes, rather prompting the suspicion that CC may be using the mangled-toe incident as a crafty alternative to one of those unpopular “you under-dressed oiks are lowering the tone” emails.
