The place that sold me mine for 400 sheets some year back rang me just after christmas and offered me 2 grand for it. Gods honest truth.

I declined, as I'd never find a plate like B4ll BAG again.

I have made a few bob selling reg plates, I take it you have not.

I haven't but what would that have to do with having a plate spell my own name rather than someone else's?

Just pointing out that not everyone who owns one fits your idea.

Just a thought, but might there not be more than one person with your name?

I have my dear old mums number plate on my vehicle.

I have private plate

Do you mind me asking why though? What's the actual benefit? I've always wondered what kind of value you can get from paying for some particular letters on a number plate.

Up to about 2010 (google)

Hmmmmm........that would fit with when I was seeing it

Around the Preston area one can see a mini with the plate U2................it isn't Bono.

In Blackburn there used to be a guy who drove a car painted blue on one side and white on the other. The plate was 13RFC

A Nissan Note on the A1...

A 9 Bob note. Wasn't that a saying back in the pre decimal days for somebody who was........

There was a VW Jetta in Timperley a few years ago with the plate J3TTA, not the best investment!

They're all highly appropriate! They all mark the owner down as complete wafter who believes in their own legend and perceived importance.

My neighbor has RA08 RTA and her name is Roberta, so it's highly appropriate that such a desperate stretch for imagined glory marks her down as the total wally that she is. Her son also has (I'm guessing) his initials on his vanity plate H7 HTB, so stupidity breeds stupidity, clearly.

Private plate = Desperate social climber. With very, very few exceptions.

I have three plates, one from 1945 the other from 1953 and more recently from 1993 They’ve always interested me but thanks for your opinion, stereotyping and sweeping statements.

That used to belong to Steve Parrish, motor bike and truck racer.

I believe it was PEN 15. I also believe that PEN 1S was never issued.

A weightlifter had W8 MAN.
Local vet who specialised in small animals, K9 VET.
Owner of a water supply company H2 EAU.

Jimmy Tarbuck had COM 1C but that has no twist to make you laugh, unlike that 9 BOB Note!
