That's great news, i think I heard something about this on the radio this morning Arista. Heels are extremely uncomfortable, I barely wear them when I go out never mind 8 hours a day at work. You can look smart without wearing heels.

She should have told him 'I'll wear them if you will'.

the big mistake they made was sacking her for that reason, they should have sacked her for some other thing and got in lassie who would look the part

Lesson learned for big companies I think

If they tried that it would likely have been challenged in Court and won. That sort of sexism has to be quashed.

Maybe this should be insisted upon - likely to see a drastic turnaround from the old chavvy chauvinists then.

What a brilliant well articulated argument from that young woman, she made excellent points well done her! Piers is nothing but a motormouth nothing he said made any sense whatsoever 'what if I didn't wear a tie' in what universe is that comparable to wearing lipstick?

On this we agree. Piers Morgan making a weak attempt at justifying blatant sexism. What does that say about him?

Not because of what she is, I am not a sexist, but because she may get pregnant and take time off.

Yes she will as she is clearly intelligent and presentable. Undoubtedly she will be more picky about the type of sexist companies she works for in the future.

Men can bluster all they like but that out-dated sexist view belongs in a museum and women are less and less inclined to put up with it. They control their own destiny at the end of the day, not men.

It's good that she won.I'm all for uniforms but nobody male or female should be forced to wear uncomfortable uniform which could cause them physical pain.

Maybe the manager should be better at his/her job and come up with some innovative sales ideas rather than resorting to blatant sexism and abusing their power as employers. Bad managers should be replaced.

They should stock Polish Bread like Tesco and i went in yesterday to get coleslaw and they dont stock it.


Most bars know that having fit barmaids = more sales and that FACT will not be changing anytime soon

Neither will this
