Well, I wouldn't expect a full postal address. Though the name of
the town would be nice - that way you can at least assure yourself
that the outfit
is local (so you can look it up in the yellow pages, etc.).

Hence the 'Medway' bit. I did come up with all sorts of clever
names, but ended up thinking it was important to have the local
connection as you say.


Although funnily enough there was a Medway Builders' van in Urmston,
Manchester, on Monday.



Bloody sat nav's :-)


There was a whole group of them today (have you been expanding?)

I took another look and they've all got a local phonenumber on them, so
unless the owner's name is Medway, I don't know why they've chosen it.
