Do ya think people are coming off holiday

[TheFaQQer]

yeah, I used to think they were only on the front...was a severe pain having to crane neck / look in rear view mirror each time.

My second favourite trucking company are 'Prestons of Potto'.



(I spend too long on motorways )

Indeed - they used to be only on the front. Particularly difficult to see them on a Scania lorry, where the writing was really small.

He started with Twiggy, Tammy and Dolly and it grew from there. I remember them having a Ffion when William Hague got married.



Sad, I know.

Good news SP. Any of them Eddie Stobart?

Steady Eddie has been taken over

They are now called the Stobart Group after some equity partners bought them.

Nah. 1 I don't want. 1 I do and 2 non plussed about.

love the way all ES trucks all have girls names on the sides...

Scary.

Eddie sold to his brother and another partner. ES Ltd is still part of the group, and they now own Carlisle Airport as well (I think) for their air freight division.
