Well it seems as a whole most all European countries take things to
thre maximum. Just look at all that fancy gear the garbage collectors
in england use, or the street workers speeping curbs etc in Germany.
You weould think they are dressed for a massive catasrophe. The Japs
are another bunch that take things to the extreme. Guess its because
things are so mandated by the government agencies etc in those areas.
Just look at the forest wardens that clean limbs etc oin German
forests.........dressed to the extent they are hilarious in what they
have on and the exquiste colors.
