A decade or so ago, when I went to a workshop or a warehouse, the standard uniform was overalls. When someone was operating a truck or forklift, you watched where you were going and stayed out of it's bloody way. These days it's all this hi-vis bullshit, and I've noticed that people wander around all over the place, and it's up to the driver of the truck or forklift to avoid them. Sometimes it's like playing the dodgems when you have glowing idiots walking in front of you. But they're supposedly safe because you can see them, whereas previously IMO they were safer because they took care to stay out of the way. Can't say I ever had trouble seeing someone in grey or blue overalls anyway. The one that amuses me most is rail yards. It doesn't matter a cracker if you have that hivis vest on or not, the train ain't gonna steer around you, and it ain't gonna suddenly stop. I guess taking it to it's logical extension, we'll have our army dressed in fluoro hi-vis soon - wouldn't want the enemy to accidentally shoot someone because they couldn't see them. -- What is the difference between a duck?

You have no idea how good you have it. When I was 12, I worked at least 80 hours a week as well as attending classes. That's nothing , when I was 10 I had to get up at 4:00 Am , milk a dozen cows , feed the chooks and pigs , trudge 10 miles through 5ft of snow to get to school and after school I would work for 6 hours humping bags of chaff at the local wheat store. :P -- Sandgroper ---------------------------------------------- Save planet Earth !

Luxury. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." > > :P > > -- What is the difference between a duck?
