few Year? New slogans! It's clearly time or those bards of the motorway who trace out allegedly) witty messages in the grime on the lack of commercial vehicles to come up with .omething new. We're sick of the long-serving "If inly my wife or girlfriend/boyfriend/non-specific ;ender partner (delete as necessary) was as tiny as this truck...". Even "A Merry Christmas to II my readers' barely raised a smirk this year. knd we're also utterly bored with reading about he lives of various soap stars with the inevitable .eference to a female member of the cast being a 'slag". And NO we don't want to vote for any paricipant in those PopStars the Rivals/Fame %cademy/"Help! I'm a nobody please vote me into thowbusiness..." reality TV shows.

Surely in a world where you can get a degree in hamburger making and soft furnishing repair, it's about time a British University boldly launched a new 'Master of Griminology' degree. Then we might finally see some wit and (dare one say) humour appearing on the back of the nation's HGVs. And while they're at it, they could do something about the spelling too, as per this example: "Quite please!15 ilegall immigrants inside." Laugh? We almost dropped our dictionary...

The nearest we've come to funny is the van whose rear door livery reads: "If you have any comments or complaints about the quality of our driving please contact: www.wedon't giveatoss.com''.

Let us know of anything that made you smile.
