[Closed] Gritter Thunberg

No wonder the south suffers with traffic problems when it snows, all bar 3 gritters are in Scotland 😁

That is exactly why I like to buy cars that come from down south.

What the gritters cost the government they get back in taxes on new cars in Scotland for sure.

Gritters guarantee 10-15 year life span on a normal car because it'll be rotten by then

lol @trail_rat. Last car managed 18 years and a bit more I think. Bodywork was in pretty good nick.

The previous Golf, though, was in getting sorted by the guy I sold it to -- mechanic asked him if it had been driven into the sea, the engine bay was just a block of rust. Not quite, but had survived many years in Aberdeen and the N~E.

I can't see a gritter thunberg is it real?

Belongs to South Lanarkshire Council

I think Sir Salter Scott and Andy Flurry are my favourites

I believe Doncaster has Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney.

Manchester has one called that as well. I like "Basil Salty" too...

There are a few without names . Must be demoralising for the drivers. 😐

Plougher O’ Scotland and For Your Ice Only are my local two.
Kind of disappointed we don’t have Gritty Gritty Bang Bang.

One of these blooming things did a really scary close pass on me the other night! I complained to the local council, albeit through gritted teeth.

I drove past one in Aberdeen last week, The Grittalo. Made me smile

There must be a Gary Gritter?

Our local gritters have pretty decent names: https://www.falkirk.gov.uk/news/article.aspx?aid=6336

The final names chosen are:

• The Meltonator
• Gritney Spears
• Snowbie Wan Kenobie
• Walter The Amazing Salter
• Frost Buster
• Sub Zero
• Frostbite
• Mickey Melter
• Snow Bro
• Betty McYeti
• Sandman Sam
• Ready Salted

This deserved more love I thought.

👏👏👏

I'm still trying to find Josef Gritzl and Peter Saltcliffe 😯

I hope it better NOT snow or get colder as I don't want to pay more for my energy bill ... I don't feel cold (well, I can manage) but the house feels cold and started to grow black mould ... aargghhh ...

Gritti Politti used to drink in my local pub

For shed7 fans only , Yorkshire could have a Rick Gritter

There must be a Gary Gritter?

It went in the wrong direction…

Hard Brexgrit?

I’m still trying to find Josef Gritzl and Peter Saltcliffe

Or Jimmy Snowvile?

There really needs to be a Sharon too.

There must be a True Grit somewhere.

Saw David Plowie go past our house last week. East Yorkshire.
