210561 ✨ [Q]Its been snowing in Scotland so our hilariously named gritters are out in force this evening

LadyFluffyOrca@q that’s such a fun thing to do! What about Gritty McGritFace? 😹
Wolfgang Viechtbauer@weaniejeanie53 @q That was my first thought! Turns out, there is (but further south): https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-shropshire-46002864
@wviechtb @q oh I didn’t realise they’d named them in England too, glad that our choice has been used though. I have to say I’m pleased that the actual polar research ship was named for Sir David Attenborough, who better, but one of its underwater vessels carries the name forward, BoatyMcBoatFace even has its own Wikipedia entry!
@weaniejeanie53 @q That's a nice compromise - did not know that!
