Mr. Plow
Over in Scotland, where they call their winter trucks ‘winter gritters’ (which I just love), they’ve just announced the name of their latest addition, Charles RennIce MackinSlush, after a Glaswegian artist and architect. Others will follow, selected from 1,200 entries submitted by the public. MackinSlush will join his plowmates, Yes Sir, Ice Can Boogie; Buzz IceClear; and IRN-BRU®’s Grits You Thru.
These are all definitely a step up from the famous Boaty McBoatface, the title affixed to a scientific research vessel used by Sir David Attenborough after the people in the charge of that effort in Great Britain opened up name submissions to the public. I’d just like to hear Attenborough say that name, personally.
