Rich people in Bristol install anti-bird spikes in trees to keep shit off their cars, rendering trees "literally uninhabitable" by local wildlife

How on earth would we know they had a M-series BMW if they had to cover it up?

Oh I forgot…

…they’d tell us.

They’d hand you a dollar and ask you to cover it up for them.

Full respect for your knowledge and your craft, but may I suggest that most of these Quite Rich People don’t have your considerably thorough knowledge of botany and ecology? And do, in fact, want both trees and a pristine lawn?

They got the wrong kind of trees.

It is a common mistake, actually.

Which reminds me of an old joke …

You’re at a party chatting away with a bloke who is a fighter pilot who does crossfit and follows the Paleo diet. Which do you hear about first?

Why not install anti-aristocrat spikes to keep rich mofos from messing up the local trees?

I expected that the cars were parked on the street, and that the trees were overhanging the road, and the property of the local council. So residents really shouldn’t be attaching things to them.

Modern paint is not affected by bird shit!

I park under trees, and get shat upon (London), and clean it off.

I have never, ever thought the answer was to get rid of the birds.

I suspect this was all started by a Hitchcock obsessive.

You know the story about the old woman who swallowed a fly?

So then you get eagles to hunt the hawks, then you get genetically modified giant bats to hunt the eagles and before you know it, everyone is getting eaten by dragons…

What gets me is that this is actually a good way to poison the trees. Especially if they used the wrong type of nail.
