Andy I've cracked it, I now know where the red gloves come from! I saw it happen today....Drain doctor, drain busters, s..t busters, call them what you will but I saw a drain being cleared today and what happened when the operator had finished clearing it? He looked at the glove that was covered in s..t, pulled it off carefully with the other hand and chucked it into the gutter. Why would he want to take that home? Because of this thread, and in the meantime I'm laughing my balls off, I waited to see what he did. The fact is he got into his vehicle after the ill deed was done rolling the appropriate hose's etc and drove off! So, there it is fellow POE members the drain busters have been caught at it, they are responsible for the red rubber gloves!! Shame on you s..t busters!!

Jadson,

Today I saw a rubber glove on the road. It was a red one. I could not get close enough to see if it was for a right or left hand. It was the A14 and very busy, otherwise I would have stopped and picked it up to send to you.

I am now on the lookout for rubber gloves, beer bottles, and dust, to boost your respective collections.

Jason old chap,

Regarding my promise about finding you red gloves, and carefully considering Ron's latest post regarding the possible use of said rubber gloves. I have decided not to collect them for you.

I hope you can understand why I arrived at this decision and I regret any inconvenience caused.

Jason, old chap. A little tip. When you find a red rubber glove for your collection; please remember to put on your purple nitrile gloves when you handle the red putrid gloves.

Thank you,

Ray S.

Listen Andy,

when you have been in that stuff as much as I have, you have to try and avoid overexposure unecessarily.  I don't hear you volunteering to collect red gloves for Jason?
