Thumbs down

Southend get very tetchy about non high-vis bib wearers!
A very strange tradition I think.

If you are in a position to be airside on an airfield (Obviously not somewhere like Gatwick) you should be in a position to be sensible and aware enough to take responsability for yourself.

After all, we don't ask pedestrians to wear high-vis bibs to enable cars and trucks to see them more easily do we?

Is this the next step? Is the stupidity going to overflow into all walks of life and industries??
