This has been going on for awhile now even Curtis Stiger has taken part on twitter. His suggestion was Grit balls of fire.

Should get Bill Workman to officially name the one that does the Notts border area as Grit Southern Jessie.

And get one of our older fans to christen a wagon "Bloody Grit Cusack!"

Both crap imo - Usain Salt and Spready Mercury were pretty good

Davis Plowie - not quite right as it is a Gritter which might Plough once out of 15 Grits.

The other is too long and was rejected by Oldham when they held the Competition to name their Gritters last year. The woman who entered Gritsy Bitsy was disappointed not win and thought "it deserved" recognition so we Donny DMBC made her day and named it as one. The vast majority wont know it as a pop song from the 60's (Google first released 1954)

Its a bit of fun and I should lighten up but really none of em are any good

Many more will not know that Timmy Mallett did a cover version of it as well.
