Where on Earth does than name come from anyway? It's quite an impressive one, and it seems that every time I go more than ten miles on a motorway I see one of the lorries. I even saw one on a normal road in the Scottish Highlands in August.

Norbert Dentressangle is a French firm, I thinkg it's located near Potiers in the middle of France. In French "dent" means teeth and "sang" means blood. My sister and I would shout out "Norbert Bloody Teeth" whenever we spotted on of their lorries.
We would also yell out "White Rabbits" when we went over a bridge and "Black Rabbits" when we went under one. I'm not quite sure why - but it kept us amused when we were little.
