    If you can't wear a Kilt in honour of St. Paddy's Day, then show up Drunk .

    It did in the call centre I worked in Cardiff. You wore what you wanted to on casual day and you paid £1 for charity. Furthermore there was no dress code at weekends or Bank Holidays either.

    That's a bit different than the standard casual Fridays in the US.

    maybe she has a problem with what she thinks the kilt entails...."no underpants"

    If I were you, I'd wear the kilt, but take a pair of pants just in case.

    If you wear nice shoes, hose up, a colored button up shirt and tie you'd be ok. I'd even wear boxers just to be safe.
    If she complains too much, you could just slip into a pair of Dockers or whatnot.

    Fired for sure, don't think Green Dragon should even attempt it now. 'Less of course, there's greener pastures on the horizon.

    I checked your profile and saw your age as 26
    well my friend you have learned something that all of us old timers
    found out a long time ago

    It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission

    its a good rule to live by
    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
