Are there any general-purpose gloves that do the same job as leather
ones, but that are not leather? I.e keep your hands safe during DIY and
garden work?

Thanks, Veggie DIY Bloke.

P.S. "Veggie" means I'm a vegetarian, not a vegetable. Although
opinions differ on this.
Before they ran the recent "Can you keep it up for a week?" campaign the
VegSoc were handing out reminder cards for restaurants saying that, if it
had a face, it shouldn't be served to vegetarians. Too many so-called
professional caterers think that a tuna salad is a good vegetarian option
- and very few appreciate the minefield in the sweet course. ;-(

Hmm. Worms don't have faces.

As far as I'm aware there aren't too many restaurants trying to serve worms -
at least not with their customers' agreement. You do get restaurants (and,
more problematically, caterers) offering fish as a vegetarian option.
Frequently it's the *only* 'vegetarian' option.
