Plymouth City Council have banned their staff from wearing flip flops to work.

John Andrews reports.

Plymouth City Council has told its staff they should not turn up for work wearing flip flops in the current heatwave. A memo to staff said:

"It's fine being cool in the office, but please remember this is a business environment and we expect people to wear appropriate clothing."We shouldn't be showing too much flesh and flip flops are a definite no-no !"As in any professional organisation staff need to dress appropriately."
