    Chap near me has H4STE - it's been on 2 different Porsche Boxters so far.


    Seen this morning - JB14KES on a Jaguar XF-R - presumably J Blake wants you to know about it.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I saw B4KER on a Masarasti, I think it might have been Paul Hollywood
  • Saw one a few weeks ago TR07LOP on an Infiniti SUV.

    Don't know whether the driver was advertising or if it was bought by a vindictive (possibly ex) partner.
  • Anyone seen their postcode on a number plate?

    Couldn't work for mine as the format of Xnn nXX e.g. A12 3CD doesn't exist on license plates

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Mine would actually work - though as an SE12 plate it would be issued in Scotland and driven in South London and you'd have to read the next letter as a number.

    There's no UK plate format that would fit any UK postcode.

    You could, at a stretch, perhaps get a digit-for-letter to fit. But that's all.

    Mine would (almost) work, but you'd need to read a G as a 6.
  • I have a good personalised number plate.


    All I had to do was change my name by deed poll to CM65 FGH to have it.

    LOL, a fellow Viz reader ?

    I've seen a couple of good ones. Several years ago saw a Lamborghini with L4MBO. And where I used to live, a couple who were both solicitors, 2 expensive cars on the driveway. One was LAW 9, the other 9 LAW ( or similar, can't remember exactly, it was many years ago ).

    One of my current neighbours has H 9 CRX. Great when it was on his Honda CRX. Not so impressive when he transferred it to his new Audi :-(
