Today’s show...what a show!
We kicked off talking about a recent news article that questioned whether a headmasters decision to ban school girls from wearing tight black trousers to school, was just!
Although the trousers were full length and black (as outlined in the uniform criteria), it was claimed the trousers were unsuitable for school because they left a visible underwear line (VPL).
The general census was, yes – the headmaster was right to ban the trousers if they were deemed to be unsuitable for school.
We went on to ask whether people thought there was a need for school uniform...
Again, the overall response was yes, with most believing that the pros of having school uniform included:
- Children in school uniform tend to take school and their studies a little bit more serious
- School uniforms help to maintain a level of discipline
- There are less arguments and fights because uniform eradicates disputes over fashion
- Wearing school uniform offers a sense of belonging.
Judging by some of the messages we received, most people seemed to think that those that don’t wear uniform tend to focus less on their academics as they are too busy worrying about who has the latest trainers or jeans.
It was also suggested, most school pupils would not know how to dress appropriately to go to school, so having uniform makes life easier all round.
What do you think?
Are you for or against school uniform?

In the second half of the show, we moved on to discuss fashion trends and whether what we wear is controlled by the media.
We talked about the fact that there are some people that are slaves to fashion and literally have to have the latest everything because it was either worn by a celeb or recommended as a must have in one of the weekly glossy mags!
We wanted to know how much influence the media actually has...
To help us explore this, we were join by Fashion Guru, Ntiedo from www.mytailoredsuit.co.uk (check out the site, now, now, NOW)!
Ntiedo agreed with the fact that the media does influence what we wear but strongly advised us to be mindful of what actually suits us and not just run with what we think looks good.
Ntiedo also encouraged people to be individual in their style.
We all agreed that although there are some trends that you can’t resist... it pays to be a trendsetter.
Be confident and overall know what works well with you obviously taking into account, your size and shape etc...
After an interesting debate mixed in with a few choice tracks, we finished up with some motivational quotes, one of which was:
‘He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away’ – Raymond Hull (very apt)
Sooooo, thanks to Henri (the co host with the most), thanks to Ntiedo and all at www.mytailoredsuit.co.uk and of course, thanks to my luuuurvely producer (who shall remain nameless) lol...
