Dept. Transport Notification
A new message has been posted to the Department of Transport
Notification in Public Authority Transport Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The message in discussion 'Department of Transport Notification' is as
follows:
In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average
intellect to display a warning flag, comprising of a red cross on a white background, attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle.
For drivers of exceptionally low intellect, additional flags are required.
Hope this helps in clarifying the lastest position !!
beware, I've got yellow skin

Presumably when not in a car they should have the symbol printed on thier head.
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Obviously a moron in a class of his own. I like the way they are designed to fly off when the window is opened so they have to buy more.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

That's a funny post.
Has anyone else noticed that most of them seem to have disappeared today?
Why's that?

A workmate saw a similar one, from the British Armed Forces, along the lines of "valid targets for blasting off the road with as many bombs,
missiles, etc as necessary". Only this time, the flag was red, white and blue - arranged in vertical bars

Letter in the Scaley Mail in the "Straight to the Point" letters - something like:
"How patriotic to see all those George Cross flags, on their foreign cars"

I thought I was the only one to see the irony in the Megane on my street flying 4 crosses.
OK I admit it, I had a flag on my car. It was promptly removed after 6th June. Commemorating a far greater effort and sacrifice made 60 years ago.

I believe that, technically, you can still be hung for treason, Ned.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Saw one today with 18 flags on. White astra estate and he had the bonnet done as a St. George cross as well. It was in Alfreton. He was saying in the
shop that it had cost him £70 to do it. I hope he's not commiting suicide tomorrow.

As with Chris's post - why are all these people trying to display patriotism on foreign cars?
