    Indeed.

    I don't think a fixed sticker in the back is any worse than the
    dealership advert or any other sticker, as long as it's doesn't
    obscure too much of the rearward view.

    It's the crap you often see swinging from the interior mirror that
    bothers me more. Wouldn't such dull your sensitivity to things moving
    in that plane, so you then tend to ignore them (be it a smelly Xmas
    tree, or one of us on a bike on the road)?

    Having said that I think there are some people who can generally cope
    with such things (along with eating / drinking / talking / smoking /
    using a mobile / ICE / CB / AR / GPS) but many many more more that
    cant.

    What do you wear when you want to feel slutty?

    No, but I liked the idea of a straw poll. I am going to show the
    results to SWMBO though. :)

    I think they're very useful for other drivers. Especially if you've got
    more than one child.

    Always useful to know that the driving is likely to become erratic as the
    mother randomly smacks the bickering children in the back.

    Or "just in case" if they're not bickering. At least, I think my Mum
    would have found a sticker appropriate.

  10. Originally, as has been mentioned, to inform the emergency services of
    the presence of a junior chav. Whether they would then choose to extract
    the spawn manually or send for some special toxic material handling
    equipment, I don't know.
    That the stickers/labels have been misappropriated by the hard of
    thinking to inform all and sundry that they are capable of fucking and
    breeding is a misfortune and only leads to information overload,
    especially when one claps eyes on the driver and thinks, "Who the ****
    would shag that?"

    Please don't do it, unless you really do only use it when the kid is on
    board.

    There's another reason, aside from the emergency services one, and the
    'look at me, I made a brat!' reason. It's that parents seem to think,
    nay _believe_ with all their might, that the sun shines out of their
    brats' arses, and that the known universe revolves around them. The
    'myth of the child' - a topic that I've evoked often in my essays here.

    Last Thursday, I stood and listened to a mother ask me if I couldn't
    create a group within 'sixieme' (=~ 11, 12 years) as her little princess
    had done three years of English. If that same little princess gets a
    shite mark at the end of the year, it won't be her fault; it'll be
    'mine'. How could it be her daughter's fault? Her daughter perspires
    nectar, her farts are lavendar, and her excreta is edible.

    Gimme a fucking break.

    The sign of a total luser.
    Those who are old enough to remember Chairman Harold will also remember
    a sticker that should be revived: "Dont say Brown say Uselessœ"

    To be brutally honest, I think many are just Proud Parent syndrome, or
    occasionally I Got Given This By A Good Friend And Don't Want To Upset
    Her syndrome.

    As Ben Elton used to say " Don't you flaunt your fertility at me" and
    suggested one that read "personally I've not been blessed with children
    but I would still prefer not to be killed in a car accident thank you"
