# I saw a 4x4 today with a sign in the back saying
'CHILD ON BOARD child's favourite teddy on board child's big teddy on board things child won't leave the house without on board child's clothes on board child's friend on board child's friend's teddy on board things child's friend won't leave the house without on board child's sister on board child's brother on board child's mummy and daddy on board'

The irony was the writing got smaller and smaller, so you'd have to get really close up behind them to read it if you were driving behind them.

# This is not the purpose you are looking for.
Apparently those signs were for in the event of a crash. The emergency services would know from the sign that they should also be looking a small person that might have been flung out of a window or into a footwell.

# Yeah, so the users take them down when the child isn't on board, don't they?
I hate those bloody signs.

# Indeed, I imagine they're almost completely ignored by rescue crews these days.
Damn Chelsea tractors.

# Not fact
Widely 'known' but sadly spurious, which is a shame, because I used to enjoy working up a good froth over people not using them 'correctly'.

That's just how I am, sadly.

# Aww man.
Cheers though. At least I only look like an illinformed spanner online. I just look like a spanner usually.
