many years ago....ok about 5 - ish, maybe more, when one of the many current "wars" started. there was a group of people in bristol city centre with plaquared;s / signs etc stood by the side of the road with "beep/toot/hoot for peace writen on said signs.

at the time was about 50 or so people ona good day, maybe 20 on a bad day.

over the years the number has fallen drastically....then about 2 months ago i noticed it started to be one very fragile looking old lady with one sign stood by the side of the road almost every night at about 5oclock asking people to hoot for peace.

anyone know why they do it? know someone who does this? is it just a bristol thing or are there others around the country doing the same thing? i think energys could be better used than holding a sign by the side of the road.

id say this lady was in her 70's....is there at least 3 nights a week whatever the weather and noone beeps anymore that ive noticed.

ive been tempted go and speak to her and find out what her story is, has she lost someone to war? i think i might soon.

but id be inclined to speak my mind and tell her that beeping a car horn will stop no wars..hmmmm...spose this is me thinking out load really.
