don't say it's perfect?

Agreed, Clive. Quite a while ago, someone mentioned to me that people were
carrying around pink and lilac canes, or yellow, or similar, and I wondered
whether they were supposed to mean something, or were they a lifestyle
choice of a rather peculiar kind? And what are drivers supposed to make of
them? The Highway Code, if I remember rightlly, does mention white canes. It
doesn't mention pink ones as far as I know!
Vince.
