Cumbria Gritters.

[andyglym]

Cumbria County Council put out a competition to name their new gritters, the winners were;

Gritter Garbo, Gritty McVitie, Ready Spready Go, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang, Spready Mercury, True Grit, Nicole Saltslinger, David Ploughie, Usain Salt, Whinlatter Scatter, and Gritany Spears.

Brilliant

I was following the thread, some of the suggestions were ace, Gary Gritter less so

I would imagine Adolf Gritler wouldn’t be too popular either..

Ever worried there was something you weren't being told when you see a gritter on the road in June?
Or an RNLI vehicle when you live as far from the sea as its possible to get in the UK?

@andyglym not sure about your area Andy but in Scotland you can live track All the trunk road gritters had a quick look there but all in depots as mild wet and windy tonight

there is 2 named ones sitting in the depot just outside Ayr

 

[pgunter]

That’s so they can track the staff nipping into the services for a break.

 

[Jamezee]

How about.....stop wasting council time, public money and just clear the roads like we pay our taxes to do.

Might not fit on the front of a gritter but hey ho.

Oh yes and dear council stop pretending to be with it and trendy. Please.
