I don't know if archaeologists in Scotland wear kilts, but I have a friend from London with a very fetching kilt made from Hi Vis vests. Is that sensible attire?
I also knew a bloke who'd dig in the dead of winter dressed in a sarong. None of the builders gave him any gyp for it as far as I'm aware.
Beardstroker and Destroyer, couldn't agree more. If I'm asked by anyone I don't like or haven't the energy to talk to, I say I'm a sub-contractor in the construction industry. Mind you, most of those people who think the job is really interesting glaze over when you tell them about the genuinely interesting bits of mud and stones you've been working on.
'In the busy market there are fortunes to be won and lost, but in the cherry orchard there is peace'.
