Good

deydododatdodontdeydo · 09/05/2019 09:46

Looks like she has been given the record now.

Antibles · 09/05/2019 08:40

Great news! I too like the statement from GWR.

The original Link in Larrys op has been updated to say the HAS won.
And they've changed the rules so they won't accept fancy dress nurses costumes anymore.

Delighted for Jessica who rightly deserves her place in the record books.

I'm also rather pleased at the rule change.

That's a good statement from GWR. Short, to the point, simply apologised and fixed the issue. No mealy mouthed bullshittery. I like it.

Amazing news.

Between that and the nastiness meted out to the slower runners I suspect there will be a shake up in the management structure before too long

Let’s hope so. It’s hard to work out what I’m more appalled by.

Well done Jessica Star an amazing achievement.

The RCN need to be all over this. Nursing is a registered profession, you can’t just wear a carry on outfit and wiggle your tits.

powershowerforanhour · 04/05/2019 11:16

Well done Jessica on your brilliant time achieved in your actual work uniform. Sorry it wasn't porny enough.

ChattyLion · 04/05/2019 10:59

Congratulations Jessica on the marathon run. Star so the Guinness world of Records will only accept Sex shop Halloween costume nurses outfits to show what a nurse is?

What does the RCN have to say about this?

BloodyWorried · 04/05/2019 10:42

She definitely looks more like a doctor when she’s wearing scrubs, after all, all of the nurses I know where a white, strappy, arse showing dress with their t*ts out. How else could one possibly distinguish nurses from doctors. Besides the obvious, women could never be a doctor surely.

Who the f in GWR makes decisions on those things, and what is their process for deciding what counts from what doesn’t?

Well done to Jessica! And thanks OP for highlighting this to us all.

WTAF?

I think I’m going to have to agree with this:

I'm seriously starting to think that extinction might be the best outcome for our species. It's not really working out, is it

BlackeyedGruesome · 04/05/2019 10:35

What?!?

Ridiculous.

placemats · 04/05/2019 10:25

That decision is outrageous!

Congratulations to Jessica Anderson for the win and the money raised.

It’s the inherent underlying sexism that is pissing me off.
Real women doing their real job isn’t good enough. You should be doing it in a little skirt to look sexy for the men.

We can lobby GWR? Someone? Fucking ridiculous

Antibles · 04/05/2019 00:06

A FFS from me too. Update yourselves, GWR. It's an ACTUAL nurse's uniform.

Itwouldtakemuchmorethanthis · 04/05/2019 00:04

Well that’s just total nonsense isn’t it?Angry. That acceptable “nurses uniform” makes me think of women dressing up as “St Trinians”...just yuck.Angry

Herland · 03/05/2019 23:56

Awful. I'd like to see a list of the "official uniforms". Bastards.
