Scotland's huge fleet of road gritters are known for their hilarious names, after people checking the road authority's live Gritter Tracker map spotted that the vehicles had humorous names like Sir Andy Flurry, Sir Salter Scott and Gritty Gritty Bang Bang.
Now, existing gritter Luke Snowalker will be joined by his BFF "Han Snowlo", after witty West Lothian kids came up with the new name in a competition run by the council.
The other winning name was "Sir Chilly Connolly", which the Big Yin is no doubt smiling about.
Over 700 names were put forward, and an incredible 48,000 votes were cast. If only there could be that kind of turn out in a general election.
The eight names with the most amount of votes were Sir Chilly Connolly (Katie Ford, S1 West Calder High School), Han Snowlo (P6, Bellsquarry Primary School, Livingston), Elvis Spreadly (Matthew Fontaine, S5 The James Young High School), West Snowthian (Whitburn Academy 5W1 and Dedridge Primary Autism Resource Class), Alba Gritting Ye (Alfie Dunnett, P5 Boghall Primary), Meltin John (Alba Macgregor, P1 Williamston Primary School), Obi Wan Gritobi (Dominik Wisniewski, P7 Simpson Primary School) and Salt-tyre (Cassidy Aitken, Simpson Primary Nursery Class).
Executive councillor for the environment, Tom Conn said: “Congratulations to the eight winners.
“We have been overwhelmed by the number of votes cast and the amount of tremendous ideas put forward.
"We’d like to thank everyone that took time to submit ideas, and to those who took the time to vote.
“This is obviously light meant to be a little bit of fun however, there is a serious message behind the competition which is to recognise the work that our staff do over the winter period, and highlight the importance of being prepared during the winter period.
"Thank you to all those that took part.”
