As an, er, counterpoint to this, in my nexk of the woods there's a coach comapny called Golden Boy Coaches. Guess what? All their coaches have male names. Stereotyping or what?

You will see loads driving all the way down there ! I actually saw about 8 this morning but when I got to office I could only remember 4. They are usually towards the bottom of the two cab doors, and also sometimes across the front of the lorry.
(Have a nice break , we were near there in Christchurch a few weeks ago and had great weather (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Years ago I was told that all the Stobart lorries have two girls' names. But you see quite a few with only one name, and a couple of months ago I saw a rarity - one with three names. Any advances on three?

Off to get my anorak.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Yes Ive seen them with 1, 2 and I think just once with 3 names, and I think was a double barrel + one more like Mary-Jane Sue or suchlike. But most seem to have two.
The one mentioned earlier (Catherine Bernadette) , only just squeezed on to the space available at the bottom of cab door. Three long names would not be possible, unless in smaller writing.

Saw so many on the way back from Keswick yesterday I've forgotten them all

Bessie May (I think)

Oh and hubby was driving so he was concentrating on the road! My car and on the way up I did some of the driving. Whilst in Cumbria I did most of the driving ( I was support vehicle driver whilst they were on the fells and I stayed lower level)

So no comments about women drivers please as it was me making mincemeat of the Honister Pass!
