A man sees a sign outside a house:
'Talking Dog For Sale'....He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden.
The man sees a very nice looking Black Labrador Retriever sitting there.
"Do you really talk?" He asks the dog.
"Yes!" The Labrador replies.
After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, he man asks, "So, tell me your story!"
The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the SAS.
"In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping.
I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years, But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Heathrow to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals. I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired!"
The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog.
"Ten quid!" The owner says.
"£10? But this dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?"
"Because he's a lying b
d. He's never been out of the garden!"

The high vis on the parcel shelf or wrapped on the passenger seat is a whole discussion in its own right. Also why do Highways Agency Discovery drivers always drive wearing the high vis winter coat? Is the heating broken?
Ooh now, steady! You're on slippery ground there. 
I mentioned an old Jag I saw in Sainsburys car park with a high vis prominently displayed on the rear shelf in an obvious 'I'm an undercover police car - respect me respect me' kind of way and was told off!
Apparently the only reason is that on the continent you have to have a high vis in the car, and that was the reason it was
So there.

What does Walt do on a day like today? There's a light breeze, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and nothing much is happening and nobody is in urgent need of an M reg 300TDI
One eye on BBC Weather, and pre-prepare a batch of weak lemon squash drink, wash and dry their "best" hi vis jacket ready for more serious weather and make do with the back-up set if needed?And, of course, repair their Discovery 300tdi. Today probably new suspension bushes, or the fuel pump, or maybe the starter solenoid. Definitely the fuel spill-off pipes.

Sun shining? Oh then there is a possibility of that reflecting onto a piece of glass causing a fire and then that light breeze you are talking about could fan the fire further.No resting. ever!
This bloke is another who was on that very packed Iranian embassy balcony.

It was probably a Traffic Control and Safety Officer (TCSO) They're responsible for designing traffic management plans for long term roadworks, installing the roadworks cones and signs, maintaining them and removal once the work is complete. I've seen several TCSO vehicles marked up to look like ours!
