So What Do You Think Of Our New Van?

BBC Radio Scotland Camper Van

How do you like our new camper van? I love it but I'm not sure everyone is convinced. In fact, this afternoon I got a breathless call from Tommy Weir in our marketing department.

"Jeff..the camper van is in the car park."
"So?"
"er...we think you ought to have a look at it."

I made my way out and could see a little crowd of people huddled in front of the van. We use it as a mobile studio and it will be out across Scotland this summer for various music events and festivals. A few weeks ago I had noticed it was starting to look a little weather-beaten so suggested we give it a paint job. Then came our new music advertising campaign and I thought we could use the design of that and apply it to the van. I recall a few raised eyebrows and some mutterings about my sanity. But they went ahead and did it. I am the boss, after all.

So it arrived this afternoon and I could tell that everyone was waiting for my reaction. It certainly is different from our usual blue and white BBC Scotland branded vehicles.

"Well.." I said, prolonging their agony, "I love it. I think it's fantastic."

Sighs of relief all round. Now we have to get the interior revamped to match it.

Any suggestions?
