Wouldn't it be cool to switch them somewhere inappropriate like a psychologists office or something. Or a school.

It's the way I tell 'em. Or maybe I wish I was digging up the roads.

I once drove with a clip-frame on my parcel-shelf for a few months, shortly after I'd learned to drive.

It took me a few weeks to actually realise that, essentially, I was driving with an unsecured window pane that would decapitate any back seat passenger had I crashed.

I did some ****ing stupid stuff when I was younger.

I've always wondered about the tissues too.
Drive through South London, and they're all gold too.

Yep. "I can drive like a c0ck cos I'm the motherfacking po-lease. Oh wait, I'm not really, I just put that high vis jacket there because I dig up the roads. Oh well better drive like a frustrated overweight low income waste of blood and organs then... "
I used to dig up roads and do road works. It was a hard and dangerous job.

I never used to have my high vis on the parcel shelf though - someone would probably smash the window and steal it!

But I doubt it would have mattered as despite having multiple flashing beacons on, and wearing full high-vis kit, drivers would still fail to see you, and fail to stop at the red light you were working around.

They started stopping after they were getting hit by road cones/traffic signs though.

'Yeah, sorry mate, I didn't see you there going through the red light after nearly hitting my colleague in the High-Vis outfit.

Any driver with all of this paraphernalia on their parcel shelf is obviously not a good driver and should be avoided at all costs.

You've missed off the list the circular tin of boiled sweets.

What about tissues with gold plastic shit all over them.

Or a gold fist. WTF?

Or how about a CD hanging from the mirror? Fack orf, never? Nope, I've seen it.

Indian 'garb' dangling from any hook in the car? No? You'd be wrong. I've seen it and it looks SHAT.
