Even worse version of a Hitched Crime

Hmpfff that was me,

Urgh, that's dreadful. Things like that always make me look with an extra-critical eye- it could be Angelina Jolie driving and I'd think, "you're not that yummy, fishlips" ?

For me, "babe on board" has to be the worst. usually found on a pink fiesta, circa 1995, driven by a fat peroxide blonde with bad skin and dark roots.

I get told off for commenting sarcastically when I see a 'perfect family on board' sign but I know I can be a bit bitter and twisted on such matters. ?

Was the yummy mummy covered in baby sick covered track suit, 3" of roots showing and bags the size of a small nation under her eyes?

You saw me then?

The worlds best mum ones annoy me.....

I saw one the other which made me laugh - a square sticker on the back of a white van

HOWS MY DRIVING?

CALL 0800-AM-I-BOTHERED

I saw a fairly large pink Princess on Board one the other day with pink fluffy trimming!! ?

Oh my god - you can actually buy the Perfect Family on Board sign? Seriously? I stand corrected - Yummy Mummy on Board is slightly better than that.

Francesca - you beat me to it!

? 'cesca.

Someone in the next street to us has that on her barbie pink KA, complete with all barbie pink fluffy interiors. The most hilarious thing was seeing her rather overweight and unshaven husband/boyfriend driving it last week. ?

Forgot to say, the car with the Yummy Mummy on Board sign was sadly just parked, so i didn't get the chance to see if the Mummy was, in fact, yummy.

I also have a friend who on finding out she was pregnant, announced that she was going to be a Yummy Mummy [without irony].

Hope i'm not straying into BT territory here...oops?

I saw one the other week.

'Baby making on board' ?

Nah, don't worry.

Ask your friend again when she has a 6 week old baby. ?

How disappointing you didn't get to see the yummy mummy!

The other week I swear I saw a small black car with one of those stencilled signs on the rear window. Pink glittery writing:

"Powered by babydust".

<smoking baby>

Classy.

The one that I always cringe at is "Grandchild on board - please drive carefully"

So wrong.

The only one of these signs that has ever made me smile was a "Baby on Hold" in the back of an MG F.

I find the rest of them make me twitch a bit.

Someone I know phoned up one of those numbers to report the driver. He was asked what the problem was. He replied 'No problem, I thought he was driving very well and I thought I'd let you know.' ?

I have to confess that we have a 'Twins on Board' sign. H bought it. He presented me with it so proudly when we took the babies home from hospital that I didn't have the heart to tell him just how cringeworthy it was. I was quite relieved when it blew away one day... until H realised and ordered another one! ?

I normally hate these but I saw one in the back of a lowered boy-racer hot hatch a few weeks ago which made me smile:

'In emergency screw driver on back seat'

?

My mum bought me one of these when we had our twins ?

It never did make it to the car and luckily she never asked why

me too. however i did get a few ?s on BT, and lovey people saying how they must be hard for me to see, etc.

i didn't like to bismirch their opinion of me as some sort of nice, senstive type by saying i've always hated them, long before DTCing ?

I went to open my mouth when I saw one last week and got a "I know it's hard but don't start" last week. I'm so predictable. ?

Sairedy, while the sign is obviously a bit vile....it is quite sweet that your mum got it for you, that she thinks of you and your family in that way.

All that aside, you couldn't possibly use it! ?

Mrs Magic and Kierenthecommunity - sorry, but speaking as someone who has been lucky enough to have had a baby [and i count my blessings every day], a Perfect Family on Board sign is still smug beyond belief

? if it's not too overfamiliar?

Not a baby on board one but I had to read it twice to make sure I hadn't misread. Car was parked outside my house for 3 days with a huge sign in the back window saying:

WARNING

The driver has huge testicles

Yuck!

The 'perfect family on board' ones (complete with pic of mummy, daddy, boy, girl) ones make me SO want to take a rock to the window.

There is a car that parks in the centre of the local village very regularly and given by the position of the parking works at one of the local beauty salons has proper decals on her car that say "powered by fairydust" and "perfect princess"

Wahhh! me too, i'd think exactly the same.

I don't really think you get yummy mummys outside of London. How insular ?

Thank you Ruby. ?

I beg to differ, there are a fair few outside my son's school at 3.25. Chelsea tractors, big sunnies, skinny jeans and/or Boden. It's a different story in the mornings though- we're all either on our way to work or on our way to the gym. I don't blend in that well in my boyfit jeans and Animal hoody?

In the Tesco staff car park by where I work we have the dual (or should that be triple?) legend of the navy blue ford Mondeo with:-

"Back Off - Bitch on Board"

A front number plate in italics with green shadows, a red and green ribbon outline, small picture of a pink teddy bear where some numberplates have a flag logo. And in a break in the ribbon frame the text 'Karen Loves Chris'.

The rear number plate has the same decoration, but the text is different. It reads 'Karen is Going Comando Today'.

It is a classy veh-he-cal.

?OMG KJX

I know there are sexy mums outside of London but the whole thing seems such a sloane range like phenomenon.
