Interesting read! I didn't know about the gritters. Now my days will be spent inventing names for them.
I have always found it a strange idea to give storms human names though - I feel sad for the people who share a name (and therefore the negative association) with some devastating storm!
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting on the gritter tracker - that's actually very useful!
Thanks glad it was useful!

Haha I heard about the gritters but dismissed it as a joke! Great piece! Thank you for sharing with us! That vessel! Beautiful 😍
Thanks - there's some great names on the web page. And yes the ship is an incredible piece of engineering
