The Crooked Cart

24 July 2010 | Hg | Photos| 7 Comments so far »

Here’s the Crooked Cart at Latitude, shortly after the crowd had descended like locusts on the merch case and all but cleaned us out.

I’m on a mission to uncover the meaning (and language) of the slogan on the side.  Presumably not “Crooked Cart”.  Can anyone help?

Thanks to Rachel Blackman for the pic.  x

    Maybe it’s the registration plate … Where did you even get it from?

    I bought it from an English guy who lives in Bulgaria – he occasionally imports them – it’s between 60 – 80 years old I reckon. xBruce

    After extensive research – ie posting a question on a forum inhabited by clever people, then sitting back and waiting for replies – I have found out the writing is Russian – Вулкан Везувий, and means Volcano Vesuvius :)

    Nice one Rachel. Someone at the gig last night told me it means ‘volcano’ too.
