Grass-roots movement in Bristol
I found these photos in iPhoto at the weekend and realised I forgot to write about how bizarre an experience this was. The quality isn’t great because I wasn’t sure about how to take night-time photos.
Mike and I were walking back from Sainsbury’s one evening and we noticed a car with a very flat tire. (We could have been walking back from The Picturehouse, I cannot be sure of the details.)
Further down the same street we saw more cars with very flat tires and they seemed to have something in common.
Upon closer inspection (but not too close in-case somebody noticed us and thought we had slashed the cars) we saw a “calling card”.
Imagine how angry you would be if somebody left you with a flat tire just because they thought you made a poor vehicle choice.
That’s amazing! I will keep my eyes out for those ; )
Is that really all it was about? Did they make some sort of eco-statement, or offer to provide a subsidy in case the drivers wanted to purchase a new hybrid vehicle?
Also, I can’t believe they went to the trouble of printing up those neat little tickets. Those are some serious, stationary-loving eco-terrorists.
Hilary,
As far as I can remember, and Mike may be able to confirm this, we only saw a few cars with slashed tires and one or two of the Poor Vehicle Choice leaflets.
