Small Bulls And Fishes.

[Bramleyboy]

I've seen quite a few cars with small black bull transfers on their boots. What do they mean? I have also seen very simple fishes ~ just two semicircles in opposite directions to look like fishes. What do they mean?
Many thanks, Bramley.

I think the fish is a symbol of Christianity

I keep seeing lorries with 'Alan' scrawled on the back.

The Fish is for Christ as 'the Fisher of Men'.

Stuyeeve, indeed! lol

If the fish symbol has amphibian-like legs, it means they're -not- Creationists. ;-)

I was also wondering about these. My friend whose husband is a policeman told me that there is a sticker policemen put on their car to signal to other policemen that they are in the police so they don't get pulled over. I can't remember what the sticker is though. Does anyone know?

I've just found the answer to my question. It's a black rat sticker.

The fish is ICHTHUS, Greek for fish, formed by the first letters of Jesus Christ God Son Saviour (in Greek) and was used in ancient Rome as a sign for Christians - a way of identifying Christian meeting places.

Thank you all. Bramley.

Isn't the bull a symbol for Ferrari ?

Mikey, you need to look at Baldrick's link, above

Oh...I hadn't seen that. So why are so many cars in Britain being seen with the black bull ? I could understand it being popular in Spain but bull-fighting is far from being liked very much over here.
