ANYONE who has had a recent brush with the law may find it hard to believe that the large copper is extinct in Britain. The reference is, however, to a butterfly, and not a policeman.
I am indebted for this valuable information to Associated Tyre Specialists, which, as a change from promoting golf matches, is sponsoring the British Butterfly Appeal. The aim is to raise £40,000 for the World Wildlife Fund to establish the amenities needed to preserve rare butterflies. The first on the list for saving is the Duke of Burgundy Fritillary, which is not, as you may think, the result of firing a fritter from a piece of artillery.
For every cash purchase of a tyre, battery or exhaust system from an ATS depot this year the company will make a donation lathe fund. Butterflies that avoid being squashed on windscreens this summer will be grateful to their benefactors.
