    Are there any grounds you can ask dvla to issue a new plate

    When you type BJ into Google the first result it comes back with is fellatio so I think I could argue it is offensive - but whether that would be good enough reason I'm not sure

    BJ is a Birmingham registration, my car is BJ61 and I really don't have a problem.
    I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world

    Presumably, in the area, every other plate starts with BJ anyway, so the novelty will have worn off what, 14 years ago?

    You can only get a BJ in Birmingham. The rest of the country has to manage without.

    Seriously, who cares. Really, who actually gives a !!!! about this kind of thing?

    Most people have way more important things to worry about than whether or not a few 12 year olds giggle at my number plate.

    spot on, maybe the OP is 12 years old and it his dad buying the car.

    i had a company car with first letters BJ and had to give it to the fuel station staff on each fill up (twice a week for 4 years) nobody sniggered when i said it!!!

    You should splash out on a new plate. I wood.

    Whatever happened to a childish sense of humour.

    I guarantee I'd snigger at it no matter how many times I saw it

    (Points at car) "hur hur hur BJ! hur hur hur" :D:D:D

    I guess if I lived in Birmingham I might stop after the 7 or 8 thousandth though :)
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
