History of hi vis / safety vests:

BBC Radio 4 - Seriously... - A secret history of hi-vis

The bright jacket has a chequered past of sociological implications. No, honestly, it has!

www.bbc.co.uk

I bought a New Old Stock British Rail hi vis jacket in Crewe at the weekend when I went to Nantwich.

 

[JEdwards]

Starting the week with a bowl of C&d’s Warped: The Haunting cake in a Big Ben churchwarden.

This is my first taste of this blend and so far it is quite enjoyable.
