Virgin Media Vans
Round these parts, Branson's boys vans have taken to being named (ala Eddie Stobart lorries) above the windscreen.

Names with the word van or something connected seems to be the theme.

I can't help thinking they haven't thought this through properly as (unlike Eddie) there's not a lot of scope after the obvious ones.

Examples are:
Van Morrison
Van Helsing
Van Diesel
Obi Van Kenobi

I bet a few of the drivers feel proper Richards

It's a good idea.

All the installers come out of Macy-D's mid morning to be greeted with 15 identical Transits, should save about 1/2 hour finding their van.
