@gingeology: When the British public is allowed to vote on something we tend to pick a great name for that thing… first we had Boaty McBoat Face… now we had to name a train… #ukrail #trains #uktravel #autumn #fyp
I’m just angry I could never think of something as funny 😅

there was a competition several years ago by a UK council to name their new path/road salters.
can't remember the other but one of them was "gritsy-bitsy- teeny-weeny-yellow-anti-slip-machiney"

Sometimes I just log onto Traffic Scotland’s site, in winter, to laugh at the ridiculous names of the gritters. It’s one of life’s few pleasures 💀

You’ve gotta check out Minnesota, USA snowplows. They name a new batch every year. I Came, I Thaw, I Conquered & Snowtorious BIG were my favs from last year.

this only makes sense if you happened to live along the main line out of Philadelphia and happened to be awake early in the morning when the leaf remover came through but "corn products!"
