Stobart Spotters
 
Just found out that some people make a hobby out of spotting Eddie Stobart lorries and writing them down etc. I know all the Eddie Stobart lorries have names but I didn't know that a hobby was made out of this! Are any BBSers "Stobart Spotters" ?

I seem to remember Barbara telling a story about one once.

Barbara? Come in Barbara...

I'm not really a Stobart Spotter, but I've been searching for one with my name on for years now.

Eventually noticed it on my way to the Peterborough game :)

Does that mean you like the Beach Boys song as well then, or have you had enough of that now?

I detest it with a passion!

If I had £1 for everyone that has sung that to me over the years, I'd be able to buy Eddie Stobart out, ten times over :D

Or if you prefer Norbert Detressangle

Barbara4003 03-04-2012 08:52 PM

I like the name Norbert.

I remember a banker mate of mine pre credit crunch spending 4K at a raffle (he was drunk) so that one of the lorries could be named after his daughters. Not only could he not afford it but as part of the deal the girls got a lift to school in it and they were all very unpopular :D

I knew him too - he came to the shop my friend worked at every day so I ended up seeing him quite a lot.
