Pollitical correctness ?

[BernieQ2]

As most would know Carol and I are baby sitting a orchard , Apples .Pears, Berries .
Because of the fruit fly problem that Tassie got early in the year "biosecurity" is on the ball .
On Friday one turned up to check the fruit fly trap that they have hanging in a tree , they come every week I think but most times they come and go without being seen . Well as I did see said "bioman" this time .
He got out of his vehicle and put on his yellow vest checked the trap removed vest then drove off .
Those bloody fruit fly's must be dangerous if you need a vest to protect yourself .
Work safe in practice .
Bernie .
ps: I agree with what they are doing to protect Tassie from the fruit fly .
PPS : Bill if you read this I'm picking up Ann from the airport on Tuesday .

I reckon he'd catch more if he didn't have the vest on.

My assumption is that the 'yellow vest' was a visual indication of his authourity.
It probably had some identification marking on it.
I doubt it would be a first if someone had abused an uninvited, unidentified stranger on a property.

I'd be happy for him to be there as long as I knew who he was and why he was there






"political".........bluddy spelling police...........

Maybe it's so as if he falls or gets hurt on the property he is properly attired for compensation? Do the right thing ?

I reckon that is probably as close to the real reason, did he have a hard hat on as well? At one place of employment I was subcontracted at the only place you were allowed to remove the helmet and hi-vis was the ablutions block, even had to wear it in the lunch room

[Greynomad]

even had to wear it in the lunch room

T1 & Shirley,
That's so the bloques could see you coming if they were stealing your lunch from the fridge...

You want PC? wait till I get my email off to the Adelaide City council and maybe a letter to the editor in regard to happenings in the parklands .

[BernieQ2]

What have you been doing in the parkland Dot ?
Here's a pic of the offending fruit fly trap that needs a hi=vis vest to inspect .
Dangerous looking I betcha .
