Bio
When Percy was late one day, Cranky suggested that "perhaps a lorry" could do his work. True to his word, three red, incredibly rude lorries arrived the next day. They called Percy a "little green goblin on wheels", insulted Thomas and James and told Toby to "toodle off to a museum". Of course, all three got their comeuppance in due course: one fell off a mountainside, one broke down after being overloaded with flour and one reversed into the sea. They were sent away, but not before being nicknamed "Smashed", "Broken" and "Sunk" by Thomas.
