To be offended by these stickers on the back of a van?

Oh I saw your picture of his van on Google, and it made me giggle.. I think it's funny how you let someone else perceptions (that you will more than likely never see again) upset you so much 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh kinell, didn't realise it was a resurrected thread.

Oh well, it's worn me out. I can't be arsed debating the fallout from some window stickers.

Right. Trifle anybody?

That wasn't entirely my point.

My point being that you have allowed this dickhead to offend you. What do you think his goal was putting all that shite up? To cause offense. To upset people.

If you just take him for the immature nob head he clearly is and he's not getting a reaction, he'll begin to doubt his 'shock' ability for winding women up. He might even realise we don't care about little men like him.

I can't remember what was on the stickers without going back, but I don't think there was much that a child would take in and understand? Was there?

It's all just hugely embarrassing, for him.

Although I bet if he got wind of this thread he'd think he was awesome, because he's achieved what he set out to do 🙄

I remember going to Cornwall some 40 years ago with my brother, Mum and stepdad... First time ever seeing the Fat Willy's logo. My parents were such awkward adults that it never got spoken about, not even a.. Ooh that sounds rude haha... And the logos and shops were bloody everywhere 😂

I only know what it is as some men from work pointed it out when we were on a team Xmas meal in London 8and one of them knew the son of the guy that started it.(apparently)

It’s an offence actually but the police probably have little interest in enforcement

Send it to the local plod, I am pretty sure that if that van has a rear view mirror then you are not allowed to have stickers in the rear windscreen that obscures that view.

OP in Australia people get booked for stickers like that. I saw it on an episode of an Aussie traffic cop show. They hate stickers like that.

Despite what the stickers might suggest, he's a sweetheart 😂

Who needs red flags when you're driving that around?

They don't care. They drive behind/ past us all the time 😂

It’s childish and Neanderthal, but we need to stop being so offended by everything we don’t like. Live and let live. At least the owner/driver of this van is letting everyone know who he is even before they meet him, so no duplicity to navigate!

As the girlfriend of the person who owns this van, you're all hilarious with these comments 😂😭 can't wait for his 3wk old son to inherite this when he's old enough 🥰

Fake taxi is a porn company

Yes - no requirement otherwise how would vans and lorries ever be able to get anywhere?

I have what cna be probably be described as quite an immature sense of humour. Definitely by mumsnet standards. But I don't think just letting a 7 and a 9 year old giggle it that is appropriate parenting.

If that was in an adult only environment, I'd roll my eyes, think he was a bellend and move on with my life. When he's targeting it for young kids to read in public, I want him closely monitored tbh.

As we a look ways say... No need to write a song about it. 😂

If they ask explain he's an idiot and to be ignored. Or just let them have their inner giggle at it and not mention it.

Those stickers are awful. Saw a FakeTaxi one the other day - my kid had to explain what it meant.....BTW There's no legal requirement to have a view through a rear window in the UK. As long as your vehicle is safely loaded and has 2 wing mirrors.

I wondered exactly the same thing about s. 5. I don’t see why not. Do you know what it says Worried234?

Er, unhelpful. You wouldn’t be able to pull in at a junction, or a set of traffic lights, or loads of other places. The kids would be stuck staring at it, that’s the point being made.

If I saw it, I'd fill in the online non-emergency form for police - and report it. I'd report it as an offensive and harrassing and intimidating encounter.

It just might be useful to the police. I doubt the people who own the vehicle are law-abiding citizens.

I've reported several things online to the police from Traveller abuse to a man harrassing my daughter on the way home from school. "Girl come here. Girl stop using your phone. Come here girl."

Despite their reputation - the police have always followed up.

And when youngest was harrassed - the police came round, took a full report and very clearly advised her to dial 999 if she ever felt harrassed by a male again.

I'm pretty sure the police will follow up on the vehicle in question.

Saw a similar vehicle in our small rural town recently, and was absolutely horrified! Stickers along the same lines but probably three times as many, and some really more offensive ones. Shades of Andrew Tate - and not something I want my teenage DS or DD to see, but what can anyone do?

As PPs have said - at least the driver is signposting himself for what he is, and hopefully anyone decent will keep a wide distance! 😨
