That's an idea. I should prefer one that says "Baby on toast" :-)

As a family, we've always rather disliked these stickers because they just
seem unnecessary. People who want to tailgate will do it anyway, those who
don't, won't. But my son - when he became a father - explained to us that
the reason for the stickers is to warn police and rescuers that there is,
indeed, a baby on board, if there's an accident. So now we're a bit more
reconciled to them. I have to admit I rather someone rescued one of us
before the Pasty, however.

The problem now is that most drivers leave the sticker in place when baby is
safely tucked up in bed. This causes unnecessary searches around crash sites
looking for baby.
So please if you use one. Take it out when baby is not on board.

I had never thought these stickers were meant for rescue purposes and
we've never had any beside the National Trust, Biodiesel, our rescue
service and the 3 dots of Christiania. (I didn't understand the
'pasty' one ...).

Good point. However, in my son's case their two children's car seats are in
a car he and his wife don't use when they go out sans children. But I will
pass that on. It's a bit like people with disabled stickers using those
parking spaces when the disabled person isn't with them. Though in terms of
frequency, I suspect the latter is the greater 'crime'.

I wish!!!! How is the weather with you Martin? There is not a
glimmer of a bulb coming through here, nor a snowdrop, by the the they
do appear, I am into growing my bedding plants for the summer.

That reminds me Sacha said last year that I possibly may be able to
order from wholesalers, plug plants, if I require them in sufficient
number, coooooeeeeeee, come in Sacha?

Is that snowdrops, Judith? *The best way is to plant them 'in the green', so
if you need loads, a wholesaler could be your best bet. * *We have them out
now in the garden and saw about 5' of the bottom of a hedge just covered in
them in the lanes today.

No, plug bedding plants. The seeds in France leave something to be
desired, did I tell you I got some packets completely empty!!!
