I have to be honest and say i'm not to sure which way i go with this subject.

I think wearing the vest's have their pro's and con's to it, Yes it's good to wear them in packed pubs and clubs, but they will als make us the target for the over indulged drinkers.

Up in the North east we have to wear Lumi Arm bands that have our SIA cards inside them.
They do help in identifying the crew from the croud, but they also tend to have the odd cocky git pulling at them and asking stupid questions.

it might come down to what area and venue in the UK Door staff work as to wether the vest's are appropriate or not.
