It isn't Eddie Stobart who's died, it's his son Edward Stobart - he got the haulage bit when the family firm was divvied up, and then ran it into the ground, to the extent that the "Eddie Stobart Fan Club" (i.e. people who were buying Stobart-liveried Dinky toys and mugs off them) was more profitable than the haulage operation in the last couple of years before he sold it off to avoid bankruptcy. The only reason you've seen an "Eddie Stobart" branded lorry on the road since the early '00s is that he flogged off his father's name to cover his own arse financially.
His dad was a hardcore Evangelical Christian, for what it's worth. That's why he insisted that his lorry drivers had to wear ties, despite the fact that neither Jesus nor his Apostles are ever described as wearing ties.
What is it about Evangelical Christians that leads them to believe that what the neighbours might think is a way of discerning God's eternal teachings as to how we should comport ourselves?Comment

Foul play is widely suspected. Norbert Dentressangle has long been known as a member of the Opus Dei Knights of the Counter-Reformation. Reg Vardy is considering his next move.
