S111 CAR?

I've got a model that's just entered production, but I'll normally buy a pre-reg version of something that's been out a few years.

My S-Max was bought on September 2nd, I was the 2nd owner, and it was registered to the dealer just 24 hours before. £14k saving for waiting a day

The one I've got now is my first 'first owner' car.

Not really. My real first name was for sale at a six figure sum, still for sale 6 years later.

My parents both have ( or should that be had, English grammar advice please) personalised plates. I keep telling my Mum to sell Dad's car and keep the plate on retention, but she wants to hold on to the car because he liked it. She hates it and much prefers hers, so there is really no need to hold onto it. I can understand her not wanting to see the plate on another car, but to insure, tax and look after a car she doesn't want to drive is stupid.

Oooooooh, we have new space

We had 6 cars at one point. My 3 wheeler is now in Georgia, bearing registration CKC006 (which compliments my Jag, reading 6 CKC, whilst OH has 6 EDR). We've got a couple of others on retention, but I'm trying to get my hands on 6 EDK (from the way Georgian names work) for when I get married.

In the office, we've got:

[Plates removed, as per post on page 2]

I'd honestly say that we have about £500k in registration plates outside there, including several '(Letter) (Number) TMC' on the company vans at £189 each.

Me, regularly, Thanks to dh. Most weekends I get at least a cuppa tea in bed when he does the birds. Today I was up and down stairs before him and we were oth pleased about that!

Twice a year minimum for me: birthday and Fathers Day. Mrs Generali gets it perhaps once a month or so. Probably slightly more often if anything.

Have you never stayed in a hotel with room service?

Dh would never consider room service breakfast. He is one of those that has to have so much hotel breakfast his trouser button is groaning and his eyes are watering. Heirs highly embarrasing, and I get put out because I am both embarrassed and a bit envious. Never is the unfairness of metabolism more clear than at our breakfasts in a hotel.

The same. Now gthere'sone less kid about the house the Father's Day meal will I uppoose become a thing of the past.

Just realised how patronising that is. An 18-yo isn't a kid. At what age do the other NPs find their offspring stop being kids?

Actually I've just realised that a couple of NPs could answer a question. How far outside Europe does the recession extend? I had the impression that where silver and gen are are calm waters at the moment. Or, does Britain seem proseprous by comparison?

Never been able to get my head round exactly how the economies/salaries/prices compare.:o

N'ah. Only if the cats swipe the toast and drag it off the plate.

It's bloody boiling here! Our lounge is a sun trap with the south facing wall being completely made out of glass, it's like a sauna even with the outside doors open.

I bought some ski boots yesterday, getting prematurely excited about January...
