This is going to be an interesting legal proceeding.

The collar and tie dress code constitutes sex discrimination. Interesting.

If the Brits want our obnoxius lawyers they're welcome to them.

"Schoolchildren in Chile are all naked!"

Bonus points if anyone knows what that's from.

I've been waiting for men to catch on to this since the sixth form. It's just so funny watching your schoolfriends squeeze into a tie when you have hardly any restrictions on dress at all...!

And don't diss the Tellytubbies. At least they're not the Tweenies.

"Agh! I can't turn it off!"

That should make sense to anyone who has seen Coupling.

:roll: Clueless<tm>. Lawsuits don't always come with cash settlements attached. It's quite possible to sue for an injunction rather than cash.

Interesting. Not a bad thing if they can do away with the collar and tie thing. I could never understand why men are required to wear ties in a formal setting - what is the function of it,other than to 'look formal'? (if anybody knows...?)
