Lol, I wish that I was pregnant so that I could do it. When people say 'oh, is that a family name' , 'no, we got it from an eddie Stobart truck!'

Oh fantastic! Will keep an eye out.
(Having ds myself so will offer up my name to someone else).

DSis had the horror of spotting her youngest DDs name (first and middle) on one recently.

LOL!

at names on ES lorries - will keep eyes peeled for one!!

I always check the name. Up to this point I have not felt the need to note them down, but from hence forth I will keep my ESM notebook in my glove compartment.

You do know that there are some sad individuals people who keep a note of every Eddie Stobart lorry they see ... they have a list of girls' names in their glove box or soemthing ...

LOL

LOL Slubber!! X-posts there

ho ho x post.

yes I am now happy to become a sad individual. I pretty much was a signed up, card carrying member already, pre Eddie Stobart note book

You can become an 'Eddie' spotter but to get the full list it costs quite a bit off the website. Geeky and expensive.

Don't ask me how i know this.

my word, you have to pay to get the whole list? Why would you do that? Surely the fun is just in the collecting and the potential for dazzling adrenaline surge thrill if you spot the same truck twice in a different location.

I'm so going to start a book now.

<<Tigers nonchalantly places note-book and pen next to handbag ready for trip out tomorrow>>

Yes you do have to pay to get the whole list. Daft huh?

<goes and stands on M6 Motorway Bridge with binoculars and notepad and pen for inspiration>

£12 a year - so not as much as i initially thought!

£12

And so many names to choose from Slubber!

pgwithno3

oh no no non no mais NO.

The method is not for inspiration

The method is the choice. You either go with looking in books or tv credits or on mn

OR

you choose the ESM

You HAVE to use the first name you see. That is the law, the Eddie Stobart Method Law.

It's a risk, but isn't it exciting!

<considers what else £12 a year could be used for>

Okay, will let you know what you have forced my DC3 to be named when I next see an Eddie Stobart lorry!

<excitedly waits to go on a motorway trip to discover name for DC3 and secretly prays its a boy so it doesn't have to be used>

Well if you were a true convert to the method you could always masculinise (not sure if that is a real word. probably not) your appointed name.

So with my ESM name today for a boy would be.................

Shonard ?



I did say it was a risky method

Slubber - haven't looked at that website for nigh on 10 yrs. Just remembered it being expensive at the time.

£12 a year = £1 a month. Erm...........

£1 a month.

<ponders>

That is a whole magnum ice cream I think

you could always name your dd and then get eddie to name a lorry after your dd

or go to wincanton or bridgewater and spot a truck or twenty

it is very strict working ethic,

full uniform with a tie,

people can call in and report drivers for not wearing thier tie,

and there are a whole bunch of people who eddie spot and then call in to eshq and tell the transport workers where the wagons are and what speed/direction they are going,

apparently there are loyalty pints avalible for those who 'grass up' the most
