One of the items on The One Show on BBC 1 this evening concerns "lorry spotters" - one the the lorry spotters (from Darlington) jumped for joy as she spotted a D.Steven lorry passing below the bridge she was stood on.

:lol:

It takes all sorts I suppose....However,
if I see a car with 'I'm an Eddie spotter' stuck on the window I try to give it a wide berth as I overtake (inevitable) because it's probably being driven by an idiot with little to live for.

What if they have "I'm a Percy Spotter" bumper sticker?

I quite often see D. Steven lorries around Middlesbrough and also near the Junction 40 Truck stop on the M6. I dont jump up and down but do get quite "excited".
Would the driver be from up North or do they operate a sort of "relay" team of drivers down the country?

Nothing wrong with lorry spotting :Razz I get 'excited' when I see an Eddie.

Never saw the program, but there are stranger hobbies to have than that.

There was an Eddie parked up beside Superdrug a few weeks ago. I've never seen one this far north.

Yes there is quite often one there now. I have met one the Quoys of Reiss too so wondered if he came off the ferry from Orkney :)

She seemed to know they came from the far north of Scotland. Better than many south of Inverness ;)
