>“Abi” is short for “Abitur”, the German equivalent of University Entrance, A Levels or a High School diploma (although it’s more at the level of an associate degree at a US college).

The end of school life (after 13 years and they don’t start until they’re 6 or even 7….) is obviously a cause for great celebration, with formal school balls, letting off steam and general silliness. (Things don’t change, really…)

And there’s a plethora of car stickers, invented by each graduating class, most of which are dull and generally unimaginative.

But this one’s good. Great, in fact.

A play on words with “Robinson Crusoe” incorporating “Abi” and the strapline “We’ve been waiting 13 years for Friday”, as in Man Friday or Friday, the last day of school..

There’s hope yet…!
