@emsquared I remember that, walking to school in the dark with our little reflective orange armbands on.
I was glad that it ended.

@snaprails Oh yeah. The orange armbands. And there I was incredulous that I remembered nothing of it.

@emsquared I wish that I knew where mine went. I definitely still had it kicking around in a drawer in my late teens but after that who knows?

@snaprails Yes. I certainly remember seeing one or two for ages in my late parents loft. Until you said I had entirely forgotten that these must've been handed out for that particular period in time.

@emsquared Supplied by the government to every school child for the BST experiment I think.
