Would have been in the 1980’s. The Dentist was above the optician on Cathedral Square.

Sorry, to drag this one back into the present, but I saw it, as I was back-tracking looking for something else in the forum


There's a prevalence of vehicles around the Featherstone area to have plates with FEV lettering, likewise in Castleford; CAS
Possibly pride in the towns, or maybe local sporting teams, so I'm told?

Badly photoshopped 😭

My driving instructor tested my eyes on a Merc sport that was owned by the lady owner of a local massage parlor, BED 69 OK

Now on a Jeep Wrangler.

Are you sure this does not hark back to the old days where each area had there own office & own set of plates, seem to remember Barnsley was HHE.

No, I doubt it
Too many new 'ish' registrations


One of my old Land Rovers was a Halifax registration, as it was 'L453 KVH'

An old work colleague of mine always wanted a registration plate that spelled a word. How ever he had mixed feelings when he bought a smashing little MG with a plate starting LOO

OO was a suffix used in Essex.

A cycling chum of mine used to have N1BOB on his van.
It cost him quite a lot, but he sold it for more a while back.

I thought I'd done rather well for my first go at it @Ming the Merciless

It's a Nine Bob Note....

I would imagine those plates would be popular in a certain town on the south coast of Cornwall - unless they have all been bought up by Pimlico Plumbers.
There are a couple of good number plates around here; L4RGS, L8RGS. Guess my location then?
In a nearby town we have OO1 - on a modest Honda CRV. The plate is probably their pension.
Go further down the Clyde coast and you get a lot of "AYR" plates. Over the water on the Isle of Bute they opt for any combination ending in ***8UTE.
Take a trip to Oban and you will see the same idea but it is ***0BAN. All with illegal spacing, of course. The Police do have an occasional crackdown, but the illegal plates soon resurface.

Growing up in Northampton it was VV NV NH, my Mum had a Cortina with ONH 1M on it, she didn’t keep it, shame, worth a bit now

That reminds me of the Porsche I once saw, driven by a very attractive middle aged female. The plate was "WAS111S", but a strategically placed black screw head cover made it read WAS HIS. A nice divorce settlement perhaps .

A Tesla Model 3 near here has the reg YU53 GAS, spaced and altered to attempt to read Y U53 GAS (why use gas...oline?). It is parked on the drive next to a big, conventionally-powered SUV.
