Slight downside to the OSM high-vis vests that Graham Smith sorted out
recently: I've noticed that more people ask me for directions when I'm
wearing it than when I'm not. One local resident even seemed to
think I
was some sort of official surveyor bod and tried to mine me for
information about some recently-cleared land. Quite what a real
surveyor
would be doing out on a Saturday, I'm not sure, but +1 for how fake-
official they look.

When I'm out surveying (with a tape and level and stuff rather than
for OSM) I often get nosy types asking what's happening. I tend to
say I can say too much but hint at (depending on the location) wind
farms, by-passes or toxic waste sites. So far this has never (as far
as I know) actually resulted in any NIMBY-style posters or local
newspaper headlines, but one lives in hope :-)
