I suppose it was because of the popularity of Gracie Fields that the song is mentioned onthe truck. E.T.

Hi Eric, my mum is on there somewhere, midle row 2nd right I think. That looks like the truck you used to drive in Bielefeld.

No, Graham. The trucks I drove in Germany were either, Canadian Ford with windscreen sloping the wrong way and a wooden steering wheel, or an Austin 3 tonner. E.T.
