Default Winter nights - dark clothing.

Dear Editor,

I was on the bus going home in the evening and a man ran out into the
road, the bus driver just about missed him. I wish to alert people to
the dangers of wearing dark clothing on winter nights, with just your
face or hands showing. Especially so, if you have a dull complexion.

Many Ethnographic studies have shown that dull skin reflects less light
than fair skin. Felix Von Luschan at the beginning of the twentieth
century showed that dull skin as a reflectivity of 24%, whilst fair skin
had a reflectivity of between 50% and 64%.

I know that the middle class liberals with their political correctness,
like us to think that skin colour doesn’t matter. However, in this case
the middle class liberals have taken equality past the bounds of
credibility, considering people lives are in danger from serious injury
or death.

I think particularly, if you have a dull complexion then it would be
safer to wear light clothing in the dark.

Jumper.
