The spirit of Boaty McBoatface lives on.
In the immortal words of Super Hans from Peep Show: "People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people, Jeremy," and the world's most beloved crack addict does have multiple pearls of wisdom, we're going to have to disagree with the lead singer of Danny Dyer's Chocolate Homunculus.
Much like Breixt, Boaty McBoatface and
Oldham Council's search to name their new gritters, the good people at Doncaster Council are looking to name their new gritters.
After a massive outpouring of hilarious suggestions, the public is faced with two strong options, Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney and Spready Mercury.

At present, the council currently has five of the greatest named gritter vehicles - Brad Grit, Gritney Spears, The Subzero Hero, Mr Plow and Usain Salt. - and they're looking for help when it comes to naming their sixth addition.
Voting has now closed and the council has announced the winner. Drum roll....
