Dave Newell Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not actually written on a truck or van but a local business which advertises on local radio has the slogan "Me names John Reeves and me business is a hit, 'cos I'm the best at emptying.......sceptic tanks!" Did see one on a delivery van years ago that was upside down, it said "if you can read this one of us has had a bad accident" D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie gibblebucket Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 You've just reminded me of an ad in situations vacant a few years ago for a pest controller, it read All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful You'll get to kill them all! :D :D :D :D Something else we saw driving back from a show last year, a truck carrying portaloos, his registration was L005 BOG - bet that plate cost him an absolute fortune!

Symbol Owner Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am trying not to notice misspellings Dave -- but Clive is right ( on this occasion!) -- I am a pedant -- I loved your "Sceptic Tank" there are more than a few sceptics on here who need putting into it! Our local supplier of portaloos is called D.A.N. Ltd., their portaloo collection/delivery truck has the numberplate:- "POO 4 DAN" :D Cheers, Colin. P.S. A pedant is the only thing to be -- you have to keep up standards among the 'Hoi-polloi' don't you? >:-) C. P.P.S. Methinks that perhaps 'Sceptic tanker' is cockney rhyming slang for masturbator? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
