‘That High Vis Fad’

Seen from the relative safely of Culmstock in Devon looking towards the Independent Tax Free Principality Somerset, it’s either storming or one of the many factory sized moonshine plants have gone bang. 

If it is the latter, we can simply hope that there are no life threatening injuries or fatalities. But if there have been, hopefully any poor souls will have been inebriated enough not to notice of suffer any pain. And of course the 180% proof ‘shine is great for sterilising and cleaning any wounds tragically suffered. 

With the imminent demise of steam on the Hemyock line, ‘High-Vis’ Harry is chatting to posh photographer Ivan Locksmith about the new directive for railway staff who get their hands oily, for they are to wear these new gaudy bright orange ‘high visibility jackets’. 

Ivan glancing at the passing diesel loco on a test run and noticing the yellow warning panel, thinks how these bright colours will spoil the muted rural tranquility of his railway photographs. For this reason, he decides to stay with black & white film until the silly ‘high-vis’ fad passes by, for surely such vulgar nonsense can’t last too long?
