I've never felt the urge to have a personalised number plate, I don't see the point of it, but each to his own. I'm like you, JB, I just need to remember what mine is.

It's funny, though, that I can still remember the reg. number of the first car my dad had after the war, bought in 1951 when I was 8. It was a Jowett Javelin, 1949 vintage, and it was KKB 75. I also remember my best friend's dad had a Humber Hawk around the same time and that was KXJ 479. I knew that because I used to go to the seaside with them at weekends and he made me and Susan learn the car number in case we ever got lost! The daft thing is, I have to ponder a bit when ever I have to say what my present car's reg. number is and I have no idea what my daughter's, which stands on the drive next to mine, is.
