A British postman was escorted home by police after he turned up for work wearing the wrong shorts.
The employee at Royal Mail's sorting office in Northampton, had on navy blue shorts without the Royal Mail's logo when he arrived at work.
After being challenged about the breach of regulation uniform there was a row, with the member of staff refusing to go home and change his shorts.
Lee Barron, regional Communication Workers Union (CWU) secretary, said: "An individual employee had a pair of shorts on which were not Royal Mail issue.

"He was challenged and asked to go home and get changed. He refused, so, in what can only be described as a massive over-reaction, Royal Mail called the police and had him escorted off the premises."
