Fashion Contrast

All I can actually honestly say about the last 10 days is that as a person who owns a van there are so many uses for a van. Here are several which we discovered whilst away on tour.

Vans can be used (and I heartily recommend) for ‘van parties’ at 4 in the morning. Soulwax are definitely at the top of my recommendations.

Another great use of a van is to enable people to just ‘lie back and enjoy’ themselves whilst using all the best bits of various, assorted sofas and by this I mean – find a sofa in the street strip the best bits of it and use it as an impromtu bed/random piece of comfy furniture.

Or this – I don’t know whether this is even a good thing but yeah…

There we go – week summed up in a few pictures

OK, so the sorry tale of the White Van Man seems to have changed fairly dramatically. It appears our lager swigging lout of the road (and yes I own a White Van, so that’s apparently me), has decided to give his or hers image a ‘refink‘.

Perhaps the fitting image of the circa 90s/00s White Van Man – angry and generally frustrated with his job driving your goods around. However new research published today has suggested that out of a poll of 1,000 van drivers only 8% live off the omnipresent morning fry up with a frankly shocking 44% eating cereals for breakfast, and it doesn’t stop there, could it be the healthy breakfast which are encouraging white van chaps to head to the gym? With 40% regularly visiting the gym and an encouraging 74% would not consider themselves overweight.

Technology wise it seems they are moving with the trend 8% of White Van Men own some form of ‘technical electrical’ product such as a Blackberry or Iphone. On a touching note the favourite activity of a white van man is too spend time with his family on his days or night off, followed closely by watching and playing sport (football) and listening to music, Timberland anyone?

It seems that the modern Vans these men and women drive could be the reason behind the change, Sat-Nag anyone…
