So how amny 'catters read the Womens' names on the front of Ediie's Trucks? If my eyesight was better and I could read backwards in the mirror I would be an "Eddie Anorak" too. Check out the French names on the trucks he registered in France.

Oh alright, on any journey I "spot" Eddie's boys and try to read the girl's names. Where's the harm. I believe somewhere in England is a bloke (guy) who does nothing else.

I was never too comfortable with the last line of that one, Bill! Surely one of the worst records ever.

See you tonight, ol' buddy.

PS Why does it say, on the back of Jack Richards yellow trucks, from Fakenham, "You are one of the following best?"

There is a trucking company in the village of Old near Northampton and their name is (cue fanfare)....... Knights. Yup their slogan couldn't be more predictable "Knights of Old"
down in these regions I often follow lorries that proclaim on their backside "C. Butt".
Can't avoid it old boy!!! AND it needs wiping!!!

When I lived in Belgium and we used to drive around on the main highways, seeing an "Eddie" was a big deal. Mary and I had a game we used to play on the road - we spent a lot of time at weekends driving on the Antwerp Ring, where there are lots of trucks - based on "spotting". The rules were refined over hours of arguing, but ended up as follows:-

Norbert Dentressengle - normal artic - 1 point
Norbert D. - tanker - 2 points

Eddie Stobart - normal artic - 3 points
Eddie Stobart - tanker - 4 points

ONLY Eddies and Norberts counted. Trucks from other firms, while sometimes picturesque or rare, didn't count.

For all Eddies, an extra point could be gained by spotting the tractor unit's name.

Boat on trailer (any firm) - 5 points, extra 5 if it was a sailboat. 5 extra if it was a big boat, over 30 feet or so. Inflatables don't count.

All points doubled in any category if the vehicle in question was spotted while it was passing underneath or on a railway bridge with a train going by.

So you spotted your truck, pointed it out (first to speak gets the points), but it had to be verified by the other person to count.

Passed many happy hours on motorways around the UK and the rest of Europe like that.
