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? 😆

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

Grey ones are snowploughs!

I can't remember any gritter names, but our dustcart is called Binderella.

Love the names for gritters and ploughs - Basil Salty is my favourite so far!

Looks like Scotland had its own Gritty McGritface too…

Surprised we don’t have this in NI. Everything else here has a nickname. Some of these are brilliant. Love Basil Salty and Spready Mercury🤣🤣
