Speaker 1
Why on earth do they want to check our uniforms in a
final exam? There are enough
stresses in taking an exam without having to worry
about whether you are wearing a regulation
shoe! But this really happened to my friend and five
other kids, who were excluded from taking
an exam because they were not in approved school
uniform. Can you imagine? After five years
learning and hours of revision and practice; you
finally fail your exam and endanger your
future simply because you are wearing the wrong kind
of shoe!

Here I am at the school dance, wanting to ask Susan
Turner for a dance — and I look like a
penguin! I had put a lot of thought into this. I
really did want to look my best. I managed to
borrow my brother’s Paul Smith jacket and jeans. But
the most exciting thing was that I got
Kurt Geiger shoes and a “super cool” Armani shirt — in
a charity shop for twenty five quid! I
looked and felt great until the dance invitations
arrived stating “black tie dress code only” . I
wonder if Susan fancies dancing with a flightless
bird...

People can wear a set of clothes that are not
identical but still be “ in uniform” . Bankers and
stockbrokers, together with football fans and style
conscious teenagers all wear a type of uniform.
They can be strict about this. There are no jeans in
the board room and you don’ t wear a Chelsea
shirt to a Manchester derby! Research has shown that
uniformity is one issue but more important
is being noticed and approved.
Speaker 4
Technical security workers at this huge corporation
belong to a private firm whose delivery
vans, uniforms, bags and boxes are all the same
horrible mix of orange and blue. The ingenious
robbers discovered that this provided both a perfect
disguise and a clever means of escape. They
just walked into the security camera repair room and
pretended to work for almost an hour —nobody even spoke to them. Not even the
genuine workers noticed that they had three additional
“colleagues” and it was only the next day that the
robbery was detected.
Speaker 5
I am worried that they’ll notice and laugh. I ’m
trying to keep as far away from them as
possible. I divide my time between the “ chill out”
area and the buffet. I ’ ll not chance the dance
floor because everyone will notice. A cream taffeta
wrap blouse, Italian Jersey dress and
«fabulously edgy» strap thong shoes from Camilla Skovaard
and — unbelievably — all of us
scented with Jo Malone “Orange Blossom” ! How on earth
can three girls at one small party wear exactly the same thing?
Speaker 6
Jimmy was a pirate and Becky was a queen. Cleopatra
did an incredible tango with a
policeman and I noticed a slow dance between Napoleon
and a ballerina. I myself wore nice
jeans, a new shirt and looked, I thought, pretty cool.
But neither Cleopatra, the hospital nurse
or the pilot would dance with me. I went home quickly
and with a wide sombrero and poncho
(holiday souvenirs) quickly transformed myself in to a
Mexican bandit. I returned to the party
within an hour. I can
now tell you that Cleopatra taught me some crazy dance moves
