Variations in Life

Check my Blog and you will see I re-blogged this photo by 'Gazpratt' and described that in my day, the shoulders would have been 'yellow' and the name of the construction firm I worked for would have been printed across the shoulders........... the company was 'LAING'.

So, I used a bit of 'Photoshop' and had a go at changing the shoulders and the hi-viz trousers.......... this is the result............ So this is how I would have looked in my late teens in the early 1970's .

If you want to be, it was your photo that stirred memories of the past, when a donkey jacket was one of the most favoured coats of guys going to and from work.

Companies used the pvc shoulder covering to advertise their company and who the person worked for.

The jackets were warm and durable and were a popular item until the mid to late 1980's.

Made more so by the National Coal Board. Orange shoulders with NCB on the back.

One strange thing is I drive up and down the M1 regularly and can still see the bridges I helped to construct.

This is not mine........ I found it on the web...even might have been on Tumblr......... It's a simple photo of young guys in hi-viz doing woodland maintenance.

But, it is how you see it, read it and interpret it and then weave a story around it...... enjoy...

When they told me, I was going on a work experience course in the forest, I didn't know I was going to be doing woodland maintenance. They gave me some special protective clothing to wear in orange and blue, I later learnt it was called Hi-viz, so we could be seen, to prevent accidents. When I saw myself in a mirror, I felt excited, so much so, I had an hard-on in my pants. I rubbed it, hoping nobody was looking at me........ Oh no, I was nearly cumming in my pants.

We all worked hard that day and I realised........ if this was 'work experience', this is the job I wanted to do, especially dressed like this.
