Happy New Year from all of us at AnyVan

The courier services team at Anyvan would like to wish all our clients and transport companies a very happy New Year. And you know the best thing about the end of 2010?

No more Strictly Come Dancing for at a few months. Hurray.

Now, we are a stoic lot at the courier services team office here at Anyvan. We’re not going to dwell on the austerity cuts, or the recent fuel price rises. No, we’re not going there; we’re going to focus on the good things in store for 2011.

Firstly, lets take our lead from the three wise men. The Stig might have gone, but they’ve got over it. Okay, there was that drive-by shooting practice in the USA and okay, there was that baby Stig in Bethlehem incident, but, generally, they’ve moved on.

The new decade is set to be a cracker. Look what’s happening down under. We’ve retained the ashes and look likely to win the series. We haven’t done that for 30 odd years. Beating the Aussies in their own backyard; sweet.

Plus it’s just over a year until the Olympics – that’s a heartbeat away from the world’s greatest sporting event, and it’s all happening in the UK.

And here’s one bit of fun to start the new year off in the way we mean to carry on. The courier services team have been picking up a number of whacky anagrams over the last few months and here’s a few of our favourites. Can you spot the anagram in these phrases: “A Rusty Tie”; “Years I Tut”; or, “A Yeti Ruts.” Yes, they’re all better ways of saying “Austerity.”

Or how about “Stuck Cab” which is a far nicer way of saying “Cutbacks.” Perhaps these two might tickle your fancy – “Oil Action” and “A Tonic Oil” – which is a less boring way to say “Coalition.” And the last one for today, how about “A Lamb Growling.” You might not hear these words for a few months, now that we’ve entered the Ice Age, but it’s an anagram for “Global Warming.”

So there we are; lets welcome 2011 with a great fat dollop of optimism. Lets all have a great one.
