Seems there are now two gritting trucks carrying this name ... a Daf (boo) in Lanarkshire, and a Mercedes-Benz (Arocs) close to me in Shropshire:

Shropshire did a public poll to name their 25 new trucks, and the top 20 suggestions were:

:D
 
So if they have to name 25 trucks, why show the top 20 answers, why not the top 25?
 
Some sourpuss is bound to be offended on behalf of Ms Thunberg.
Gritty McGritface is my choice. There are some good ones there.:thumb:

Five of them were given 'serious' names:

The five gritters that have already been named:​

Charlie Desmond suffered from muscular dystrophy and passed away five years ago at the age of 15. He has been described as ‘such a brave boy’.

Jack Edwards from Cleobury Mortimer passed away four years ago after a battle with leukaemia. He has been described as ‘an inspiration to the local community’.

Zac Oliver from Broseley was diagnosed with a rare strain of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in May 2018. An appeal raised £500,000 to send Zac to Philadelphia for life-saving treatment.

The Harry Johnson Trust was established in November 2014 following the death of seven year old Harry in July of that year. Harry died following a nine-month fight with Double Hit Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Percy Mullaly was a much-loved and long-serving car park attendant at Shropshire Council’s Shirehall headquarters. He sadly passed away earlier this year.

Because in Shropshire, they don't do losers 😎
