You are thinking of the Black Rat stickers I think it is a bit of an urban myth, you used to see loads of cars with them!

Not nessecarily an import, just the car is probably owned by someone Spanish, or someone who has strong links with Spain.
The Spanish are very passionate about their culture and proud of their Country, the black bull is displayed everywhere, just as common as their flag.
We have a huge black bull perched on top of a hill that overlooks the whole of Fuengirola.

Was with a traffic policeman at work the other day. Reckons everyone bar traffic police are a let down to the police force. Apparently there's some cock in london who does just as much drugs as they criminals they're trying to catch but gets away with it. Ł20k a year aint bad for dossing about though is it?

Yeah, I read something similar - it's just like the Irish having a shamrock sticker on theirs.

Well I would guess 50% of them do it purely because they are brainless fashion following plebs that don't even know what it means but do it because others are as per ring stickers.

Probably Spanish related, as mentioned, perhaps just some sad way of saying you have bought a Spanish property or something.

Very doubtful, more likely that they have legally applied for Residencia in Spain, not sad at all.

So are you saying that just because they have a sticker on their car they cannot visit the UK anymore?

Its not a case of showing off, all ex-pats who own & live in property in Spain & long term residents have to apply for residencia for a number of reasons. By having something as simple as a sticker on your car shows that even tho you are an ex-pat you are contributing legally to the Spanish economy, tax, social security etc.... this tends to mean you get a slightly easier time from the locals, than being classed as people who only reside here for a few months at a time.
Heaven forbid if they have to drive to England for any reason and forget to remove their sticker, im sure if they realised they were upsetting people like you they´d remember to take it off before they crossed the water

fuckinell clare, get a grip with all your

you, and nobody else, explained ANY reason for non-spanish people to have this bull, apart from to show off, so my comments were perfectly feckin valid, as having it jus to be all "look at me, i live in spain" is jus hom

now you explain it like that, that they have the bull to stop the racist spanish calling them dirty gringo immagrents and spitting in their paella for being foriegn, thats different.
