    SWMBO wants one of these in the cage. I think they're a complete waste
    of time and space.

    What does the floor think?

    I don't give a toss.

    They're no better and no worse than any other stickers that people put
    in their car windows so if they keep someone happy then why should I
    let them bother me?

    They block part of your view, and what is the fucking point?
    You're a breeder, congrats. You don't NEED one to park in the
    supermarket family spaces. It's not quite like a disabled badge.

    I've been learning that it's the cages with the shit stuck to the
    windows and the soft toys on the dash that are the most annoying/dangerous.

    </really missing my bike, I might go and get it next weekend>

    Waste of space.

    Will she take it out when no baby on board ?
    Will you take it out when no baby on board ?

    Does seeing one make people drive safer ? Or does it make them come up
    close to read it ?

    Which should be at the top end of the car park, furthest from the store.
    The little obese bastards need all the exercise available :)

  6. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Cab
    They're a tolerably reliable useless-****-driver indicator.

    How's her driving?

    Indeed. I am genuinely curious as to what possible justification they
    may have.
    As do I.

    That you might need to ask UKRM which brand of underwear to wear, too...

    I really like M&S stuff, it's pretty cheap and withstands a lot of washing.

    It fits nicely, comfortably and makes me feel sexy without being slutty.
    I think in recent years they've managed to hit my demographic quite
    nicely and I enjoy giving them my money.
    I also got car insurance off them. Turned into a review of M&S that,
    didn't it?

    I tend to get socks from next though :/

    We don't get M&S stuff over here. I like wool socks for cycling, but
    can you get them nowadays? Can you **** (not without looking long and
    hard).

    Yup. I believe the original purpose was so that in the event of an accident
    the rescue services might think to look for a baby. But as no-one removes
    them from the cage when the kid's not there they're pointless. Nowadays it's
    just used to promote the fact that you have procreated.

    <G> She doesn't. Yet. She's driven once since coming back to the
    continent, just over 9 years ago.

    But the mums would get their pyjamas wet if it were raining [1]

    [1] Is this just a Liverpool thing, mums wearing pyjamas & slippers to
    go shopping?

    I think this says it better than anything:

    What's even worse are the 'Little Princess On Board' stickers.

    They are crap. Mind ewe, it does translate as "careless driver paying
    too much attention to bambino".

  19. Do you tuck your trousers in them? Serious question.

    No, I use a bike clip on the right leg (which is the only one that gets
    caught in the chain), but I rarely cycle in long trousers, anyway.
