My pet hate is personalised number plates, except when they are like MB 1 and classy. The ones where 4's are made to look like A's etc., are just naff, naff, naff.
Beware, people remember you too .. once had a number plate on a Sunbeam Alpine LEC 55 ... everybody knew where I was at certain times of the day.
Even a policeman 14 years after giving it up asked me if I still had LEC 55 !!!
Used to get stopped regularly by a policeman in the early hours of the morning, 'cause it was easy to spot ... don't think he was after giving me a ticket though.
Yes, PENIS was a mistake, as pointed out, and numbers are supposed to be vetted so as not to cause offence. Personalised number plates was a great little earner for the DVLA, not sure what can be done with the new numbers though, not so easy.
Entwisi .. creative spacing is illegal, and will be clamped on soon.
Possibly, wouldn't say no to KAT 1E though .. think belonged to Lady Boyle at one time ?
In America, can put 'owt on yer car. Might be the solution.
