"You never know in these winter months when you may need to have a warm seat in the back of it."

Although it may not always be wise to let the public name things - Boaty McBoatface is a prime example- the status received 112 responses.

Some of the suggestions we can publish included Optimus Crime, Sting (after the Police singer), Nicker Locker Glory, and The Viper.

The competition was inspired by Bulwell Police's van, which is aptly named 'The Beast'
