Ever spotted one of our vans and thought, “Hang on… is that logo upside down?”. Don't worry, you're not imagining things.
It all started as a bit of a laugh. We're big fans of Only Fools & Horses here at AK (Del Boy falling through the bar? Comedy gold). Inspired by the iconic Trotters van - “New York, Paris, Peckham”, we thought it’d be funny to list some “international depots” on our vans too.
Now, we’ve only got one depot (right here in Paisley), but we thought, why not dream big? So we added New York, London, Sydney… just your everyday van hire hotspots.
Then someone had the genius idea: “If we’re giving a shoutout to Sydney, shouldn’t the decals be upside down, y’know, for Down Under?” So we flipped them.
Next time we got a new van, we forgot to add the pretend depots but the upside-down stickers still went on. And that’s when people really started to notice. They asked questions. Took photos. Had a laugh.
So we kept doing it. And just like that, an AK tradition was born.
Spotted one of our upside-down decals? You've just uncovered the AK in-joke.
(And no, we’re not opening in Sydney... yet.)
