Back at home in Paddington we sorted an on-street parking permit and with the exception of maybe twice in the next 15 months we always managed to get a slot on the road outside the flat. The Smart car was also there and they made a lovely couple.
Big Blue’s document / info pack and key rings from the garage are all emblazoned with “BIG BLUE”,
To be fair it is an accurate description, but in the spirit of making the camper van our own a new name was required
After a bit of head scratching, seeing the two vehicles together on the street made us think.
The Smart car has a number plate ending in DAV and therefore its obvious name has been “Dave”… simples!
As a pair the natural name for the camper therefore is Charlie or Chaz – Dave and Chaz, right?
Anyway, CHARLIE (or Charlie Van, or Chaz) stuck as the adoptive name for Big Blue.
Could have called them Little & Large I suppose :-))
And so big blue CHARLIE was born
not sure I really want to google that either?….It’s a bloomin’ minefield!
