I'D like to appeal to a small percentage of my fellow Bishop vegans to please stop chucking their McDonalds rubbish out of their car windows.

Sadly for me, it appears that the time it takes to drive from Mcdonalds drive through at Tindale is the exact same time it takes to scoff whatever you've bought.

There are other options - take it home, put it in the bin or make controversial modern art with it.

If, after considering these options, you still decide to jettison it out of your window then I suspect that your quarter pounder is probably more intelligent than you.
