Receptionist 'sent home from PwC for not wearing high heels'

Here's the link to the story in the United Kingdom:

Receptionist 'sent home from PwC for not wearing high heels'

Nicola Thorp, 27, from Hackney in east London, arrived on her first day at PwC in December in flat shoes but says she was told she had to wear shoes with a “2in to 4in heel”.

Thorp, who was employed as a temporary worker by PwC’s outsourced reception firm Portico, said she was laughed at when she said the demand was discriminatory and sent home without pay after refusing to go out and buy a pair of heels.

How many of us would be more than happy to abide by this dress code?

Looks like I may have one more chance to dress in May; please respond to the survey at the right (details here)!
