Lunchtime. Take the Range Rover out to Tesco for fuel and a bit of a rough
wash to get the mud and salt off it.
Park up and enter Tesco to get some food.
Wander out....what's this? I spot someone putting something under the wiper
of Bagheera. I speed up a bit and catch up with the person. At this point
please note I am wearing an Anthrax tour shirt....
Me : "Hi...what's that you put on that 4x4?"
Note sudden worried look, then the up, down, ah he's not the owner look.
Hugger : "A flyer to explain to them how they are destroying the plant <and
more anti 4x4 rhetoric ad naseum>"
Me : "Oh....I wonder if they will take any notice? What sort of person
drives a car like that anyway?"
Hugger : "Rich t*ats. You know the sort....too stuck up to realise what
damage they are doing."
Me : "I'd never thought of that, is that why you want them banned?"
Hugger : "Yes. They should buy smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles that
are not so dangerous to pedestrians."
Me : "Ok...as a matter of interest, where can I get these flyers and what
car do you drive?"
Hugger points over yonder to an MPV!?! Hugger then explains about the
anti-urban 4x4 stuff.
Me : "You have a people carrier, how is that any different?"
Hugger : "It doesn't cost as much!"
Me : "Understood". Cue HUGE grin.
At this point I unlock Bagheera, remove the offending fake ticket, inform
the hugger I am going to report her for littering, and thank her for giving
me her numberplate.
The look on her face. Absolutely CLASSIC. I wish I'd had the foresight to
take a pic with my phone.....
