Sainsbury's is a major supporter of Comic Relief, and TDG Nexus distributes Sainsbury's petrol throughout the south of England.

Which is why the 20 Nexus tankers on the Sainsbury's contract are all sporting outsized red noses. Well done chaps, and here's to a record-breaking Red Nose Day on 12 March.

But it occurs to your avian correspondent that having fitted red noses, more could be done in the cause of "humanising" HGVs and making them more acceptable to the general public. Possibly Micky Mouse ears in place of cab-top wind deflectors? Or giant wagging tails as rear indicators? (that's enough surrealism—Fish).
