The idiosyncratic nature of people's individual responses to 'environmental issues' seems perfectly encapsulated by the stickers on the illustrated mini's windows. Two stickers trumpet support/membership of WWF and the National Trust whereas two seem to reflect a 'petrolhead' agenda. I suspect that most people are a bit schizophrenic about how to live appropriately, supporting inconsistencies that chime with their particular mix of enthusiasms and pet hates.

Hi Paul,
As one of the biggest owner-operators of car parks in the country the National Trust might be regarded as something of a 'petrol-head' organisation itself, no?
Point well made. One of the perks of membership is that you can use their car parks 'for free'. There has also been the claim that the NT produces a 'tea towel' version of history that doesn't accurately reflect how e.g. the stately homes they minister came into being.
