Thought this would be quite a good one. Lets hear everyones CB handles and why/where they got them.

I think the CB has died out a lot now days which is a shame, I’ve had one in both cars I’ve owned and when I get hold of a unit next year for the shows I’ll be sure to put one in.

I was called angry yorkshireman just some scouse fella called me that and became my handle.

My dads was Papingnion (French for Butterfly, Big Puff :smiley: ) but doesnt use the CB no more as too many idiots on the air.

Thats Papillon, from the film of the same name.

My Handle was Plastic Camel, I got it because my first truck back in the early eighties was a Scammel Handyman which was made of fibreglass.So the plastic came from the fibreglass and the Camel came from Scammel. Everyone just calls me Steviebloke now…
