@delaisla @jdpoc
The lorries map confused me because I thought I knew what a lorry was -- a truck.
And in fact this was a map of where lorries are dispatched from in winter, and I guess it's the clever lorry names on the map are driven by local custom.

@jdpoc Nah! Gritter lorries are a conspiracy by bike shops to sell more wheels, chains and brake pads! Discuss. Use both sides of toot if necessary. 😂
