My father must have thought it halirious one day to tell me that the small amounts of oil on the road were "dead rainbows". I would always say a prayer in my mind for them when I saw them. I am keeping up the tradition though (not in such a nasty way!) I tell my daughter that the power stations are really cloud making factories.
