Don't ordinary citizens own vans or small trucks in the UK?

Plenty of people do own their own vans, but they don't seem to be Lego fans!

BTW something I forgot and Mark doesn't seem to have mentioned is that the term
'transit van' has become catch-all for all small vans (as opposed to lorries),
in the same manner as Filofax or Hoover.
