John Tomos is a beautiful English woman’s name

Roaster of the highest order :unamused:

I smell a brownpoo2

spelling is suspect for a high flyer in stobarts, browntroll was that your idea of a joke?..go on was it?..you little devil you!..

I think girl’s names on any lorry, especially when it’s “Lady Whoever” are just silly, but hey ho, nothing to get excited about :open_mouth:

A new phenomenon here is ‘Pit Crew’ on the side panels, then a list of names straight from The Unmarried Mother’s guide to naming your child, I do find it funny how the most redneck ■■■■■ looking drivers have the kids with the most expensive sounding names though :laughing:

We’re reaching new lows here.Would that be John Tomos (Thomas) as in Lady Chatterley? :laughing: This thread might make it into Len Goodman territory, seeeVEN! :cry:

In the late '90’s they had Dutch / Flemish girls names on their Belgian reg. fleet…

This makes no sense. You can laugh for 2 hours and then when you finish, and I start laughing and will laugh for 5 minutes, I will be the last to laugh despite that you laughed for longer.

one of our customers once requested if she could name our tankers with a womans name…I refused clearly.
would be a little bit funny to instruct the drivers to:
Fill up Kerrie-Anne to the gunnels
Give Angelina a good internal clean
and see if Mariah is leaking form the bottom valve :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

Not my kind of fun in front of a customer.

You can take a truck to the sign-writers but you can’t make him name it Abdul/Anja/Parvinder.
