Thank you French Boy but are you suggesting we can only buy these vests in France?

Hi Hummers
Sadly I can't tell you if you can buy them in Britain. I don't live there. I am indeed a French Boy! But I doubt that our leaders in Paris, for all their faults, were likely to insist on a reflective vest that until then had never been made. So perhaps, yes, you can buy one in Britain. But the truth is that I don't know.
Sorry.

Merci, mon frere en bras - sans bras quand on apport un gilet.
Naturellement.

I think that the honourable resident of Hampshire got "bras" and "sans bras" confused with "les papa à poux pas papous" and "les papas papous pas à poux". I must admit that this gallic concept of classifying people depending on their (or absence of) papuan origin, their breeder status and whether their scalp is colonised by lice may seem gratuitous. Nevertheless I would encourage the ambitious forummer to grasp this very important concept; some historians argue that it played a major role in the making of a nation populated by happy cheese eating strike mongers. As most inhabitants of this garlic perfumed wonderland know, characterising garments or even people by the absence of arms is counter-productive and can only lead to sterile debates. Those who need convincing may read Jean Paul Sartre treaty on arms existentialism.
In case a rider were to find himself engaged with an official ACP controller debating over the counter-productiveness of arms for riding a bicycle, my advice would be to remind him the fundamental philosophical issue mentioned above. Assuming your debating skills are up to scratch, he should shrug shoulders and let you proceed to the start. I must warn the unwary reader that the concept explained above is so powerful that its abuse may lead to the local authorities depriving you of your freedom, they may argue looniness but really they would just be trying to preserve the established order.
