Another UK question

I own one of each. I like them both a lot, but I think I prefer the survival, partly because of the amazing pockets, but partly because the material is not as stiff (yes, even after many washings, the workman's is somewhat stiff).

I would have to agree here. I own an original and the workman's. I like my workman's, but it is rather stiff and is a bit heavier. If you are going to be lugging a bunch of photography equipment around, I would say the survival would be more comfortable.
