what a silly girl

..she was sent home from work though../given a choice of either going out and purchasing some heeled shoes or going home so it didn't really sound as though they were open to any discussion about it...


..she's an actress apparently/a TV actress who I presume was doing some temping work while she wasn't acting so it would seem unfortunate for them that they chose to discriminate against someone who would be quite happy to pursue it publicly..but that's a good thing that she has and highlighted it because it's a discriminating employment rule...codes of dress for males and females can differ in the workplace but they have to be reasonable to the job being done and having to wear heels for a reception job isn't 'reasonable', so long as smart shoes are being worn...
