    Other funny names for the Gritting trucks include Gritty Gritty Bang Bang, Gritallica, David Plowie, Sir Andy Flurry, Luke Snowalker, Snokemon Go and Grittle Mix.

    At least they didn’t put her picture on the truck!
    That’s something to be thankful for.

    Apt – a spreader of chemically corrosive material named for a spreader of mentally corrosive material.

    Grifter Thunberg more like; I’d be tempted to change the first ‘t’ into an ‘f’.

    It’s a non-joke on a non-starter. Children won’t know what a gritting lorry is by about 2000.

      Yes magesox, especially as the authorities believed the no more snow story and didn’t many.

      Then what was the white stuff obliterating my windscreen a little while ago?

    Although UKIP have probably made significant miscalculations/assumptions, the decision for Royal Mail to go EV is insane.
    RM thrash their vans to death in months from what I’ve seen. EVs are just not suited to this type of heavy duty work. The battery packs will need replacing every 3-4 years at a guess, then you have the range anxiety unpredictability in a business where delivering to a schedule is critical to your success/reputation. Madness.

    I give it a week before some joyless eco-warrior complains and the name has to be removed.

    EV’s are employed to carry real world materials through a fantasy environment. The carrier tells me that his delivery is late because he has had to recharge his vehicle twice during his shift, oh that’s alright then; the main purpose of his purpose his prove the technology and delivery times are my gleeful concession. Amazon made big play of having EV’s but the stuff they carried was largely produced in countries where they still have fossil fuel driven production.

    We made one mistake in declaring ourselves a services economy, which Boris’s assertion about our being the capital of Green Energy production did nothing to dispel. We gave our technology and production to China (and still give that place foreign aid, you can’t make it up). But even closer to home, Switzerland is at the top of the league, conceded nothing to hinder its manufactures.

    I am not sure if our gritters have names but I have noticed that the bin lorries do. I guess you would have to be brave to use Osama Bin Laden.

    While mocking a silly bint from Stockholm can be an amusing diversion – the near total absence of public challenges to her near perpetual insults to our society and her Marxist agenda tells us something….

    It’s not that there aren’t valid criticisms of what she’s proposing – it’s that those critiques are blocked at every turn by bad actors controlling access to the podium.

    The MSM deserve to be swept away ….
