Yet another departmental meeting"And the first item on the agenda, ladies and gentlemen, is the most pressing issue affecting the image of this organisation.
"Despite the repeated warnings on numerous occasions, I can count no less than three of you wearing socks and sandals in this meeting room alone."
Guilty looks, shuffling feet.
"Now, I am a forgiving sort of person. I notice that two of you have tried to hide your filthy habit with long trousers and socks the same colour as your footwear.
"Consider yourselves on duble secret probation."
A tremulous finger points to a quivering individual at the back of the room.
"And as for you..."
Brown sandals.
Red socks.
Three-quarter-length khaki cargo trousers.
Two inches of skinny white leg.
Time stands still.
*SPANG!*
"Thank you, for your intervention, Miss White.
"Now, as I said, there are two of you wearing socks and sandals in this room alone. Let us move onto the next item of the agenda with that warning ringing in your ears... "

And in other business (snerk), could we add open-toed shoes with stockings as a sub-section? Saw one at work last week.
Urgh.
Epic. That guy in the hind corner would be me :D
Besides, I'm way ahead of you. If you checked out the Latest Fashion from Paris & NY you'd see socks in sandals are pretty OMG controversial fashion!
Turd. That is all.
Under Big Society rules, I am taking it upon myself to rid the country of the cargo trouser menace as the police have so far flatly refused to do anything about it. While I'm at it, anyone with their track-suit bottoms tucked into their socks will be forced to lick the pavements clean.
Anyone in disgrace can seek solace here where they do it all the time www.sandalandsoxer.co.uk/home.htm
I used to work for the UK arm of Radio Shack and they gave a lad a written warning for wearing sandals and white cotton socks in the hot summer.
In the UK too, eh? I thought it was only de rigueur attire in Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri.
A hospital I worked in years ago let us wear sandals at work ON CONDITION we kept our tights on.
It was because of "the potential for the spread of infection due to 'pubic fallout'"
