    Although the offerings on both of those links scream "Knob!" at equal intensities, they are not the model presented the other evening.

    I wear a fluoro vest when commuting. I agree they are hideous and tasteless. I would rather the law mandate all cars be fitted with a motorcycle proximity warning system.

    I have no idea if the vest makes me safer on the road. I have no stats or research to back this up, other than reading somewhere a common reason from cagers hitting a motorcyclist is "I didn't see him".

    The fact it makes me feel safer (whether delusional or not) is justification enough to wear it. After all, motorcyclists don't do themselves any favours with a propensity to wear black or dark clothing.

    You're not telling me I'm the only one who goes into Motomail and sets all their display vests flashing just for fun?

    I actually just got to thinking - shouldn't the title be "Where is the Taste Police..."?

    Not to piss on anyone's parade of course...

    Please do! Then you could all hang out together at a hi-vis pub somewhere and drink low alchohol hi-vis beer, and munch on hi-vis low fat bar snacks.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Or perhaps "Where are the Taste Police Persons" ?

    You are quite correct Mikkel, no doubt Hitcher is mortified having made this basic linguistic error.
    No doubt he was thinking of the Police as individuals rather than an organisation which should be in the singular as you have correctly noted.





    I put this down to the horrific effects of viewing the previously mentioned fluoroluminescent vest.

    Sounds like an outtake from that film Tron....

    I've come over all tremulous recalling that memory.

    No. It was a flouro vest in the shape of a cross with...

    Coloured lights.

    Blue ones. And other shades too, but my retinas were scarred after the first assault.
    I saw him commuting too. It was amazing.

    OK - who hacked Hitcher's Account?
    I'm thinking he left it logged on and Mrs Hitcher is quietly having a laugh at his expense in the background.

    Please be very careful where you go with that.

    "Amazing" isn't the adjective that I used at the time.
