    Come to that everyone remotely connected to the trade round here know who the numpties are and the regularity of the tool vans visits, and the girth of their owner drivers, suggests that most keep their gear up to date and invest in their futures.
    Either that, or the finance deals which are the franchised van's biggest money-earner, really are that usurious and exploitative.
