Lock and Weir Keepers

[Doolittle]

Oh and while we're at it, let's give the Beefeaters some blue boilersuits. That'll save a bob or two, and loose the Queen's Guard's busbys for baseball caps...

It's pathetic.

Oooh I knew that would ruffle feathers! Think you'll find the majority of lockies themselves wanted something a bit less likely to invite Betty Swollocks for the day-how many did you actually see wearing the full monty? They needed something a bit more practical as unlike our scarlet-cloaked friends at the Tower their role is hands-on and not ceremonial... Maybe the fire service should go back to wearing brass helmets?

Are we talking the same buzby's that are dressed in yellow, look like big bird and represent BT?

Why aren't you red anymore? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

(No the Busbys we are talking about are usually on birds decked in SCarlet.)

Red on my machine?
