A tired tortoise shows the Flag: The motorway sign indicating that the Erekine Ferry at Greenock, Scotland, is only 14 miles away means, for the motorist in his high-speed car, about 15-minutes run ahead. But for the poor old tortoise on his summer holiday, it could mean another 100-hours steady plod. And even a tortoisees speed of living can get tiring during this current heatwave. So this chap has acquired a flag to advise motorists that he is not too proud to accept a lift. After all, even a tortoise needs a break now and again. If hees not successful, heell probably stop at the next -shell" station along the road. June 1970 P006581

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from June 1970, we see a tired tortoise proudly displaying the flag of the Erekine Ferry at Greenock, Scotland. The motorway sign nearby indicates that the ferry is just 14 miles away, which would be a quick 15-minute drive for any high-speed car. However, for our little tortoise friend on his summer holiday, it could mean another grueling 100 hours of steady plodding. Even though he may move at a slow pace compared to cars zooming by, this wise old tortoise knows when to ask for help. With his newly acquired flag, he signals to passing motorists that he's not too proud to accept a lift. After all, even creatures as patient as tortoises need a break now and again. As we find ourselves in the midst of a scorching heatwave during this time period captured in the photograph, it's no wonder that even our resilient reptilian friend can feel weary. So if his attempt to hitchhike fails along this road trip adventure, perhaps he'll make a pit stop at the next "shell" station – because who knows? Maybe there's some shade and refreshments waiting there. This delightful snapshot showcases both humor and compassion towards animals while reminding us all that sometimes even the slowest journeys deserve moments of rest and respite.
