A TRANSPORTER Bridge calendar? What a spiffing idea and with twelve images to choose from we are truly spoiled for choice. We could have ‘Transporter by Moonlight’, ‘Transporter by Floodlight’ or ‘Transporter by no light at all due to council cuts’ – there are three to start with.
How about ‘Transporter out of order’ and ‘Transporter closed for maintenance?’
That brings us up to five.
Oh, and of course there’s ‘Transporter a magnet for tourists’ replete with balloons.
Can we afford balloons? Probably not. Back to five then.
What about the nudist angle?
I mean the dangling gondola could represent...on the other hand perhaps not.
That leaves us with seven images still to go.
That’s enough for all the colours of the rainbow flag but are we ready as a city for such a huge gay icon?
Well, why not?
It’s a free country...supposedly.
