That'll be it then! When I first went to Blackpool it was all Morrisons lorries, just from that trip I knew the South was going to be invaded by the supermarket giant as then they were only up North, so we went in one whilst up there and it was fantastic, really upmarket compared to Tesco or Asda, oh how that changed once they got national. Back to the thread theme though, around our way every other lorry is a tipper truck, all doing the regulated 56mph, problem is that's in towns; round roundabouts and through red lights, brakes? what are brakes!!Something to do with that big depot in Carlisle and a distinct lack of traffic on the M6 & M74?
Long may it continue

Robsons of Carlisle used to put names on the front of there wagons each one started with borderer Eg wanderer, They had Foden 2 stroke wagons which sounded brilliant and made my dinner hour at school better, what a bloody anorak iam.Has anyone else noticed that once you get above Preston every other lorry is owned by Eddie Stobart!

Nothing wrong with Stobbarts, but we prefer Norberts
For 28 years we have been keen "Norbert" spotters. We have a competition every time we are out. First to see one and shout NORBERT adds it to their tally, We even shout if we see one on telly. You've all seen them before, despite the name I think they are now a part Brit owned company and for every stobbart on the road it seems there are 10 Norberts. We have seen Norberts in almost every country we've been in, but the best counts are in UK, France and Spain.
1 point for every Norbert you see, 2 if your overtaking and 3 points if they are on a different road to you. In France, your likely to find Norbert distribution centres which the family call "Norbert Nests", no matter how many Norberts in a nest you can only add ten to your tally.
