VAN DRIVERS GO THE
EXTRA MILE FOR LOVE
With Valentine’s Day just gone, new research
shows many of Britain’s van drivers were prepared
to go the extra mile on the road to romance.
The survey of 500 van drivers, com-
missioned by Volkswagen Commercial Ve-
hicles, reveals van drivers up and down the
country are not afraid to wear their heart on
their sleeve.
In fact, according to the survey, fewer
than one in five (19%) van drivers say they
are not romantic or don’t have a partner.
A third (34%) of van drivers regularly tell
their partner they love them. And three in
ten van drivers (30%) will treat their other
half to flowers and chocolates regularly.
One in six (17%) van drivers will be in
constant communication with their partner,
texting or phoning all day long. And when
it comes to enjoying time together, a third
(33%) of van drivers will arrange romantic
dinner dates.
Researchers from Onepoll.com also found
that on average more than one in ten (13%)
van drivers still write love letters to their
partner, although female van drivers are
more likely to pen romantic notes to their
partners, with nearly one in five (18%)
women saying they do so compared to just
one in ten (10%) men. Of the 500 people
surveyed, 43 per cent were women.
A spokesman for Volkswagen Commercial
Vehicles, which commissioned the research,
said: “Our survey shows that many van driv-
ers are embracing their romantic side and
often go that extra mile to do something
special for their loved ones. With Valentine’s
Day this month, no doubt Britain’s van
ing a block of luxury apart-
ments in an exposed and
beautiful location on the
Isle of Man chose Eurologik
doors and windows from
Eurocell to provide the pre-
mium appearance and ro-
bust performance required.
Lakeside Apartments
is a four-storey shoreline
development of eight
three-bedroom apartments
in Ramsey. It has views over
Mooragh Park Lake on the
landward side and across
the sea to the mountains
of the Lake District on the
other. To make the most of
these views and increase
the natural light, Seymar
Developments designed the
apartments with five sets of
patio doors opening onto
balconies or patios, and two
windows.
Eurologik was chosen
on the advice of the main
contractor, Fairway Con-
struction, because of its
high thermal performance,
the lack of maintenance re-
quired and because it could
resist exposure to salt.
