That's my understanding too. I think it's what started the vaccine bloke, I forget his name, thinking about it.
 
Dave have you seen Paul Compton on youtube on the Battle of Nantwich?

Wearing hi-vis clothing is how you hide in Britain Asha. It's a bit like the "gilet jaunes" without the disruption and chaos, but you'd be amazed at the number of people here wearing it. Oh, and we have pink as well as yellow and orange. :eek:
 
Don't tell me it's becoming fashionable:LOL:
 
Amusing comment by a guy talking about older battles (before gunpowder) and he said:- They were environmentally friendly as anything useful was collected and bodies buried in a mass grave..h'mm fertiliser o_O
