Is that a clue?
Is it supposed to be a 
or 
cider?
Who's Eddie Stobbart?
What's a group? Like the Beatles, Manfred Mann?
Oh look a bird!

Well, Eddie told me last week that it wasn't anything to do with musical differences, although he felt that having a teen girl group on the show didn't fit with the heavy metal environment they worked hard to create.
Their big beef was the billing, with the photos of the girls being twice the size of Eddie's band pics.
Can I push the button now?

I think they recently relaxed the rule about all the trucks having female names. Not sure whether that allows male names, or just allows them to be nameless, though.
Also not sure whether that's relevant.

A wild guess that it's something about the markings on the trucks that we will see but not notice (subliminal).

No Ignorance ~ though subliminally it could be a clue.

Could it be -
a spiky yellow background to some text, like Lisa's hair
the wording 'duff' somewhere prominent
a blue column like Marge's hair
white clouds in a blue sky

Surely there's a subliminal message...
Ed dies, to Bart
All we need to find out is who Ed is.

Eddies in the space time continuum.

Well MuBeta is closest - Whilst you can see this whilst the trucks are on the road, it is really obvious when they are parked up for the night.

So, Eddie Stobart... is that some UK trucking firm?
Clueless.

Mu Beta Posted Jun 19, 2013
Ah, is it a rear-door thing?
Do they read:
ED|DIE
STO|BART
And when they park up, you only get the right-hand side?
