Is that just your nickname for a truck that is laying down sand/salt?

And yes, a gritter is a lorry that spreads grit. Hence the name ;) Peter [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu Linux] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

That'd be just our luck; the whole planet turns to desert under a blazing, ozone-free sky, and the only place where there's any sodding snow anywhere is Milton Keynes.
