i have a name plate but do not/will not ever own a set of frilly curtains. not everyone has them or even wants them, normal curtains do the job for me so no need for the tacky curtains in my opinion.

name plate is so i know which wagon is mine, there are far too many plain white wagons on the road nowadays!

Saw a tipper the other day in cornwall,
It had, name plate, tons of spotlights, all the bling in the cab and to top it off,
Frilly curtains!

Trouble was, it was a day cab.!!!

I know quite a few drivers but if every truck looks the same on a fleet you can kind of tell them apart with the name plates in the window as to whether you know them or not when passing by. Why have your name stitched onto your work uniform? Same thing I suppose.

No way would i have a name plate.

Traffic warden…“Your smoking in a work vehicle”
Limeyphil…“Go [zb] yourself”
Traffic warden…" what’s your name?"
Limeyphil…“I like bumbing traffic wardens, come hear”
Traffic warden…“It says limeyphil on you NAMEPLATE, Heres you ticket. Now get your ■■■■ out of my arse”.

Just like dads Army.
German…“Vot is your name”
Captain Mainwaring…“Don’t tell him Pike”

[allikat]

I got mine from Halfords too. It’s been with me in Europe, the US and Canada. I like it.

1. Maybe the plates are glued to handbags …to also identify lippy, etc?
2. Maybe they like to introduce debris in front of them …perhaps it’s safety shrapnel?
3. End of a 03.00 hrs shift and too much time on your hands? After fuelling, washing, tacho, declaration that you’ve not trashed the wagon or created WW3, etc and as well as re-packing flask, butty-box, gloves (with string for the sleeves?), etc …simply leave the unit clean & tidy for the next matey instead of admiring/removing your nameplate.
4. Have you found a nameplate in your unit? Why not simply dedicate your fave trap in the lav’s to ‘b1g kno33er’
