I find cars with many bumper stickers interesting and try to check out as many as I can. I'm usually behind them in traffic so there isn't much time. In any case, I've acquired enough photos now to start a new collection which I hope you'll enjoy.
Please note that I'm not encouraging comments about the content of the stickers. That could quickly get into nasty arguments and I don't need that aggravation. We live in a country where people can put this stuff on the back of their cars. Let's simply revel in that.
Finally, I've loaded larger-than-usual versions of the pictures so that you can give these works of art the detailed inspection that they deserve.

Like in September last year, we went to London to meet up with Gemma's Brother Graham, his Husband Bruce and their friends who were over from Florida!
We also met up with our lovely friend Vicki.
We spent all Friday night in The Friendly Society, our favourite bar in Soho. Such a quirky, diverse place which lives up to its name!
We had such an amazing time!
In The Friendly Society. An awesome night with wonderful people!
What fun it's been, getting to this point -- many thanks to all for the visits, views, faves & comments!

Wheadon's Caetano Optimo bodied Toyota Coaster, BK14LFN.
Feel free to leave your comments on the looks below. At least it's smaller than the Levante! To be fair it looks better than most of the other minicoaches, the mirrors do look oversized for the bodywork, but much of it looks decent, although the Mellor bodied Mercedes they brought down in 2013 would probably have my vote ahead of this!

Registration: BK14LFN

Chassis: Toyota Coaster
Bodywork: Caetano Optimo CS700 C22F
Location: Torbay Road, Torquay Seafront
Exposure: 1/640 @ f7.1 800ISO

A more "Full" body shot of Hershey. Haven't had the camera in about a month now. Lots going on around here. My Daughter-in Law is Japanese.She and my son were married in court a little over a year ago. My wife and I were the only ones in attendance. Her parents are coming in from Japan on Monday. We (my wife and I) will be meeting them on Tuesday at Dinner at a restaurant. To celebrate,we are having another wedding ceremony on Wednesday evening. Small gathering of about 30 people. Should be interesting as they don't speak English and we don't speak Japanese. My Daughter-in Law will be there to interpret(Hopefully!!) Lots of preparation. Hope you understand my lack of comments. My son has decided that I will be his "Photographer" for the evening. Lets see how This works out!!!

Agincourt, Trafalgar, Waterloo... you don’t have to be a learned scholar of our island history to know that, over the centuries, Britain’s entente with France has not always been cordiale.
Indeed, even in the recent years of firm (but wary) friendship, our two nations have often gone their divergent ways.
Leave aside the painful day in 1940, after France’s armistice with Hitler, when the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet.
Think instead of France’s refusal to back us in the Falklands or (no matter how justifiably) Iraq. Or consider the 43 years, which ended only 19 months ago, during which the French rejected Nato.
Yet today, David Cameron and President Nicolas Sarkozy are to declare a new era of Anglo-French defence collaboration which will make independent action by either nation all but impossible.
Even at a time when it’s vital to save money, how can this be wise?
True, those who feel deeply uneasy about depending on France will be accused of living in the past. But it’s the future that worries the Mail.
Though Mr Cameron and M. Sarkozy may get along, where will Britain be left if we have to plead with a future French Socialist Government for the use of an aircraft carrier to defend our interests?
And how can the Tories, who rightly opposed plans for a European army, even consider handing operational control of the SAS to France?
Mr Cameron said yesterday: ‘The point is to enhance sovereign capability by two like-minded countries.’
We may be like-minded today, Prime Minister. But what about tomorrow?
A disingenuous gameSacked last year for attacking tougher controls on cannabis, the aptly-named Professor David Nutt tries a new approach to pushing his soft line on illegal drugs.
With fellow liberal campaigners, the former government drugs adviser publishes research — based on his own formula — purporting to prove that all illicit drugs, heroin included, are much less harmful than alcohol.
Let’s be clear. For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse — and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions.
But Professor Nutt is clearly pursuing a different agenda when he plays up the dangers of alcohol — preposterously suggesting that it should be classified as a Class A drug.
Isn’t his chief purpose to play down the harm done by illegal drugs such as cannabis and cocaine — just as he did last year, when he announced that ecstasy was less dangerous than horse-riding?
If he had experience of rundown estates, where girls sell their bodies for a fix of crack, would he be so blase about drug abuse?
Of course, Professor Nutt is entitled to his opinions. But when he dresses them up as science, he is playing a disingenuous and dangerous game.
Equality of failure
In the name of equality, Chief Schools Adjudicator Dr Ian Craig condemns faith schools for favouring families involved in church activities.
There’s a danger, he says, that they may be (shock, horror!) middle class.
Meanwhile, he warns that specialist music schools may be breaking the law by accepting gifted musicians according to their ‘ability’, rather than their ‘aptitude’.
In short, he won’t rest until all children, equally, are denied places at the schools that suit them best.
"the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet."
Another betrayal from the British: killing 1,297 french soldiers for no reason and you dare to claim it was "obliged" to do so?
Appalling revisionnism from an appalling tabloid.

If not for this action , the French fleet would have been taken over and crewed by Germans, we may not have won the war and you could still be under Nazi occupation!!! please remember the traitors of the vichey who sided with the Germans killed more of your own countrymen than this reluctant action.

"For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse - and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions."
Why not campign for a ban? The Mail constantly spreads propoganda to convince people that cannabis should be illegal, when it causes 0 deaths a year. But when it comes to the 10,000+ deaths a year that alcohol causes, you just want tighter rules, and no 24-hour licenses.
So to recap, the Mail's stance is:
0 deaths - keep it illegal
10,000+ deaths - keep it legal

We must also remember that they mutinied at Sedan and our Commanders said that we would draw rhe germans off by starting the Somme offensive where we lost so many of our troops.
As a Sovereign Nation we should always retain command of our troops and Cameron will learn this at his and our peril.

How can this work if the French have truly independent nuclear capability and Britain must go cap in hand to the US in order to use its nuclear warheads? Politicians do love their little games.

Would prof Nutt be so blase about drug abuse if he witnessed girls selling their bodies for crack? What sort of stupid, biased, uninformed and bigoted question is that??!
Shame on you, Daily Mail. Irresponsible, over-emotional and totally inaccurate rhetoric. Get real please.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted Maria Leathart's portrait at William Bell Scott's house 14 St Thomas' Crescent, Newcastle.(see comment below).
"James Leathart, collector, was the son of a struggling mining engineer and prospector. He married Maria Hedley, daughter of a prosperous soap manufacturer and Mayor of Newcastle. At his death, they had ten surviving children. Leathart lived at 12 Framlington Place, Newcastle, and after 1869, Bracken Dene, Low Fell, Gateshead.
Leathart was a Newcastle lead manufacturer and a patron of artists who included JW and the Pre-Raphaelites. Leathart had worked his way up through the firm of Locke, Blackett & Co., Newcastle, from his apprenticeship at the age of fourteen through his own studies in chemistry and metallurgy. In 1846 he was put in charge of a new plant at St. Anthony's on the Tyne and was made a partner. Five years later he was promoted to joint managing partner and at the same time became interested in collecting art.
Initially, through his position as Secretary of the Newcastle School of Art, he bought local artists and watercolours, but William Bell Scott, head of the School, soon encouraged him to buy the Pre-Raphaelites and other contemporary artists. A large part of his collection was commissioned directly from artists. In November and December 1863, Rossetti and Ford Madox Brown urged him to buy Wapping (YMSM 35), for 800 guineas, but it was bought by Thomas Winans in 1864 for £350. He did own Purple and Rose: The Lange Leizen of the Six Marks (YMSM 47).
Despite Locke, Blackett & Co. being the largest lead-manufacturers on Tyneside, the company suffered financial losses from foreign competition in the 1870s. Due to his own increasing financial difficulties, Leathart was forced to sell his collection in the 1890s, and he died leaving an estate of £14,924. Many of his paintings are now in public collections, like Ford Madox Brown's Work (1852-65; Manchester City Art Galleries) and Albert Moore's A Musician (1865-66; Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Fund)."
