Women railway workers on the East Coast line between London and Edinburgh are refusing to wear their new uniform, which includes a see-through blouse that leaves "little to the imagination" of passengers.
Perhaps it's an attempt by bosses at National Express to "sex up" their workforce and make travelling by train a more desirable option. But Guru wonders if beleagured rail commuters would be imagining semi-naked train staff in the buffet car while being delayed outside of Peterborough.
Perhaps other employers could introduce see-through uniforms in a bid to encourage customers to buy more stuff. High-street sales would go through the roof if shop assistants flashed the flesh - it would certainly encourage recession hit consumers to splash the cash again.
And when McDonald's launched its new designer uniform for staff last year perhaps it could have gone for the see-through option?
On second thoughts, bearing in mind some of the lookers you see working there, that would certainly be enough to put Guru off his Big Mac meal.
