Shorts vs kilts in the workplace

[bear]

From my perspective:

I am a Manager, working in the Canadian Federal Government, in the National Capital. Wearing shorts to work, other than for some special event, is not considered acceptable dress. However, given Canada's Celtic background, I would think that wearing a kilt would be accepted if it was done in a business dress format. This I have yet to try. I am awaiting the right opportunity to sport my kilt in the office.

If anyone gives you a hard time in the capital, tell 'em John A. MacDonald said it was okay.

I work for Telus Mobility and shorts are on the 'NO NO' list but kilts are deemed ok. So I'm a happy worker.

That's funny, my wife works for Telus Mobility out here too. I will be kilted at next years Christmas party for sure now.

I am surprised that you weren't kilted for last year's Chirstmas Party. I went to my Christmas party in a Utilikilt.

Shorts are virtually a national dress in Australia, they are totally acceptable as workwear....

Graham, You've mentioned this before and it's something I was rather surprised to hear...considering the fact that Australia is home to some of the most lethal wild critters on the planet. I presume Tasmania shares that attribute.

Blu,

Are you saying Graham is a wid critter from Tasmania? If not I will.

I don't know...he did look pretty fierce in those green tights.

I wasn't going to bring up the green tights, but yes it is pretty fierce.

Blu, we have nothing lethal here, except every kind of snake on the island (where's St.Patrick when you need him?) plus various spiders: the redback, funnelweb, white tail etc. In the water we have Great Whites, jellyfish, blue ringed octopus.

But on the roads we have teenage drivers, by far the most lethal of all the species.

My only encounter was a couple of years ago, the deadly tiger snake got me and put me in intensive care for a day.
It's still a lovely place, and not near as dangerous as many places.

Graham,

Are the male wild teenage drivers kilted?
