the British have a sense of humor that is often amazing - Monty Python for example, and sometimes more low key and subtle, such as naming their county road service trucks

Cumbria County Council�s name the gritters competition had 200 name entries then chosen by a series of polls hosted on the council�s Twitter page, with the top-placing names in each poll being declared the winners. Gritter Garbo, Gritty McVitie, Ready Spreadie Go, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang, Spready Mercury, and True Grit were the best ones... Brad Grit, Bay Gritty Roller and Nitty Gritty all failed to make the cut for for the Cumbrian fleet.

One of the new features on the car was a new-fangled Air Filter that filtered out unpleasant odors...a first in the industry, I guess. The setting was a family traveling in their Olds 98 throughout beautiful northern Michigan . The commercial was more or less through the eyes of the two children in the backseat ... two perfect offspring of two perfect parental units.
