Gritter names - what’s your favourite?!

[liveforsummer]

I don’t know if it’s just Scotland or UK wide but all of the gritter/snow ploughs on the road have name and the names make me happy 😆. Ones I’ve heard recently -

Spready Mercury
Salt Disney
You’re a blizzard Harry

whats the best ones you have heard? 😆

Gritty Gritty Bang Bang

Gritney Spears

Just some ideas which were posted on my county councils socials earlier

I love ‘I skid you not’ 🤣

You might like the gritter tracker where you can zoom in to see who’s out and about, including ready spready go, for your ice only, and Gritney Spears.

This is better than flight radar

I Love it!

I love this thread

Gruff Gritty

Spready Mercury is my favourite, and Sir David Attenbrrrr also in Scotland, but I enjoyed seeing Jessica Ennis-Chill and Gritchard Thawley around the streets of Sheffield last year.

I've surprised that I have not seen this one yet...

...there's still time, though!

I’m assuming this must exist?! 😆

So it’s not just a Scotland thing? Glad other nations get to enjoy the humour

Lord coldemort, coldfinger 😁. I wonder why they don’t all have names?!

Bahahaha those names are hilarious, I love the Gritter tracker site, "I want to break freeze", "Buzz Iceclear", "Skid Vicious" 😂😂😂

Lord coldemort, coldfinger 😁. I wonder why they don’t all have names?!

They might be new fleet waiting on names. My council has 4 new ones and the schools just took part in a competition to name them. Judging was first week in November and winners/new names will soon be announced.

How did I go through life not knowing this! These are fantastic! Thanks OP

It does! I should have checked first!

Worth checking back regularly then 😁

It’s there on the tracker!

Skid vicious and I want to break freeze are awesome 🤣

Here you go

Basil Salty 🤣. Any idea what the grey ones are?

Grey ones are parked up at depot. Yellow ones are out on the roads and live tracker shows their current location. You can also see their trail on the map showing roads they have gritted.

Naming thinks catches my attention. The passenger assistance vehicle names at Central Station, Glasgow are Lorraine, Mariah and Olly the Octopus.

I know of some classrooms who have named glue sticks. "Bob has lost his hat!" gets more response than, "There's a missing lid." 🤣
