Peer Pressure
Drive green

We at UJ always love a little Hollywood bullying.

Especially when it's some sleb on sleb action re: driving green.

Prius may be a catchword for 'Slebs Who Care' (although Cameron, sorry, don't you also drive some monsters as well?), but if they get Pimped SUV Rides off the road, then they're okay by us.

If you, too, find yourself cruising - slightly guiltily - in a petrol-guzzler maybe it's time to call in a Green Tomato.

With a fleet of Toyota Priuses, Green Tomato is the taxi co with a conscience; their cars emit 'less than half as much carbon dioxide as a black cab'.

True, your Prius may not have the same interior as Cameron's, and you, like Jer, may think their green factor leaves a bit to be desired, but if it gets you out of an Addison Lee (sorry Addie, we love you, but a people carrier for one?) then they may not be a bad option.

And if any of you have friends in The City with 4x4s for two, maybe it's time to do a little bullying yourself.
