Some how in the UK, the people have been trained to do as they're told if they're being given orders by someone in hi-viz(s). How its happened I don't know.<br />We have also seen a rise in words with simple meanings being changed by hi-viz/emergency service personell and saw an example of it in this film. She tried to make the word "asked" to mean "ordered" or "instructed" when she thought that because she had asked the gentleman to stop taking photographs, he had to stop. The gentleman rightly pointed out that he had heard her request and chose not to act upon it. We often hear the police using similar tactics where they claim to give "advice" but, in their case, it is not advice but an instruction because, usually you can ignore advice but, with police "advice," if you ignore it you're usually arrested.<br /><br />Just laugh at hi-viz(s)Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-2062982349749642162012-01-30T13:01:03.768+00:002012-01-30T13:01:03.768+00:00Oh my God it this embarrasing!!!!!

There is no excuse to resort to personal abuse, and directing such language at a member of the public is totally unacceptable no matter what the circumstances. They are entitled to ask him to leave, politely, if he was taking pictures on their company's premises, but if he was on the Queen's highway, i.e a public road, they have no authority whatsoever. Consideration should also be given to reporting the incident to the police too because, as I understand the law, making threats of violence, and threatening to deliberately run someone over in a car are criminal offences. Indeed, the latter could be interpreted as a threat to commit murder!Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.com
