    Lots of people in the UK are wearing bright fluorescent yellow jackets - luckily it is not sunny so often or your eyes would hurt!

    This is not fashion - it is purely "health and safety" gone mad. First it was cyclists and motorcyclists, to be seen by drivers. Then it progressed to construction workers and anyone near machines, like at harbours and airports. Then the police and traffic wardens and little children on their way to school in winter.

    Most clothing in UK is quite dull, so these "high visibility" yellow jackets are a sight for sore eyes.

    It has gone crazy.

    The man in this picture is a labourer on his lunch break - in Kirkwall, Orkney.
