Plumbers testimony proves White Van Man a myth

A plumbers van insurance holder from Birmingham has appeared in the Sun to represent a new breed of White Van Man at work on Britain's roads.

The 25 year-old believes in looking after both his van and his body – and says he'd never wind down a window and whistle at passing ladies.

"My van's an important part of my business," said the conscientious plumber, who surely appreciates the value of a cheap van insurance quote.

"I take pride in keeping it clean and in good condition – there are no sandwich wrappers or newspapers piled up inside."

He added, "I enjoy keeping fit, and last year I cycled from London to Paris to raise money for charity."

This clean cut plumbers van insurance customer is one of five interviewed by the Sun in its myth-busting article, which challenges the stereotype that the average British van driver is "a male with a beer belly, in a filthy van, wolf-whistling at any passing girl."
