Some days you simply want to do something different.

Mornings in breakfast began after breakfast with a coffee in the main square of the old town. It was always very busy with delivery vans and thin on the ground in terms of clients. I like vans because I like what they represent in terms of that endless shuffle of trying to get the goods in the right place at the right time. People talk endlessly about the pros and cons of different kinds of shops and other types of retail outlets, or about the kind of farming or other manufacture. What gets ignored is the intricate system of vans that bring these two pieces together.\

This is my stake in the ground - vans are worthy of mention beyond in terms of 'white van drivers'.

I also consider this a warm up for the rather delayed series on the locally made Zuk vans - from 1958 to 1997.
