To be fascinated by the Eddie Stobart lorry progrmme

[pigletmania]

Well am I. Find that I want to learn to drive just so that I can drive one of the Eddie Stobart lorries . Its such an interesting programme, what lovely looking lorries.

One of the spotters nearly got his rocks off when sat in one of the lorries on last weeks programme.

I was once a card carrying paid up member of the spotters club

Still would be but couldn't afford the £10 yearly membership. Also objected to them no longer wearing shirts and ties.

I've just watched four solid hours of documentaries about liners. I can equal you in geekiness! :o

My dear dad was a trucker for many years. Happily spent my school holidays in the passenger seat of his artic, munching on crisp and Irn Bru, dropping stuff off in such glamorous locations as Bradford, Avonmouth and Felixstowe. Happy times :)
Loving this programme.

BrightLightBrightLight it's on at 8pm on a Friday night on Channel 5 but I imagine they repeat it in the week too.

I thought the lorries didn't have the names on any more?

It's on now- nearly finished though I think, DS has turned over now
I put it on for him, but found myself glued to it.

I was all sad for the new truck that had to go and get dirty.

I know and it got tipped almost horizontally. I think that they still have the names on, its like a tradition that is part of the heritage of ES.

I sky-plussed it, intending to watch it before DH noticed. Forgot, he then saw it on the planner and, as predicted, pissed himself laughing. I'm now too self-conscious to watch it.

Did you watch it last week clam, your dh would have found it even more funny, as the Eddie Stobart lorry spotters were on

Stressheaderic my Dad was a trucker too(Still is) and I always used to go with him in school holidays. He was a Continental driver so was away from Sunday night to Friday, I travelled all over Europe with him in the school holidays, it was great!!! :o

me and the DCs shout Eddie Stobart every time we see one
