The ever present danger of squishing someone is one reason I don't drive a car.<br /><br />Andy in Germanyhttp://www.korschtal.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-31850954363528888572016-03-17T13:56:26.979+00:002016-03-17T13:56:26.979+00:00Mike - I agree with you.

Both they and the other worker can then often see each others in often difficult conditions. <br /><br />Numpty trainspotters wear the stuff because they think it's cool. Then they think they know better then everyone else, put themselves in danger and cause problems. I'd mount lasers on FS front and fry them...<br />Phil Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673614093646938053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-28549654439031348952016-03-17T10:51:01.121+00:002016-03-17T10:51:01.121+00:00I completely agree with you, I'm surprised tha...I completely agree with you, I'm surprised that this is something that's already widely in use. The halls are generally not the best lit areas and with so many people milling around, the danger is very real. It's not as if the organisers are asking people to wear them the whole weekend, just when there's a very credible danger.Nick Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127175841352825227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-17094875995467638482016-03-17T09:32:52.338+00:002016-03-17T09:32:52.338+00:00Are these the same as worn by the numpty trainspot...<br />Are these the same as worn by the numpty trainspotters who were wandering all over the East Coast Mainline to get a photo of Flying Scotsman - as if a loco coming the other way would either swerve to miss them or bounce off them because of the magical powers of Hi-Vis. By the time an express driver saw them it would be too late - however I'm sure you'll be safe at Ally Pally as the vans won't be going at over 100mph!!Mike Bellamynoreply@blogger.com
