  The only reason I don’t wear a white lab coat is because there are so many chemicals spilt on it over the years you can’t tell it’s white anymore!! Have you heard of Joseph’s technicoloured dream coat!?

  I’m not a Chemist, I’m an engineer, so when I go out on site I wear high-vis overalls – red, yellow, orange!
