Seen on the way home from work...

When was the last time you saw a car sticker that made you think "Hmm, I'd really like to get to know that person"?

I particularly hate all of the variations of the Baby on Board stickers: "Little Princess on Board", "Cheeky Monkey on Board" etc, although I did like one that said "Babe on Board", particularly when I pulled alongside and saw a rather plain teenage girl with severe acne sitting behind the wheel.

If I had my way, I'd ban 90% of car stickers. No more "I'm the bitch in front of you" or a picture of a Liverpool fan urinating on an Everton football shirt. In my Stalinist state, I would only allow tha proletariat a choice of five car stickers:
  • The National Trust
  • I've Seen the Lions at Longleat
  • Woburn Abbey
  • A choice of BBC local radio stations
  • AA/RAC
I think that's more than enough. Party members would,of course, be allowed to have their own stickers, but these would have to be genuinely witty or beautiful. Imagine being stuck behind a car in a traffic jam and seeing a quote from Middlemarch or Moby Dick?

Now there's a business idea.
