In a survey I once read it said that amongst the most likely people to have a PM plate were doctors, more especially surgeons - go figure.
Going to make it my mission today to find the silliest/most vain/pathetic attempt at personalisation.

One thing I can never get my head around is how quick people are to pigeon-hole others who choose to have these things. Trying to buy individuality as they have none? Small-cock substitute? Tossers? Attempts to display wealth and superiority?
Fine to have your opinions of course, but I wonder if the generalisers get upset when people lump them together with red light jumpers, careless cyclists just because there are a minority that are.
Each to their own I say, and if someone gets a moment's pleasure every day from seeing something that means something to them on their car as opposed to a bunch of random digits, then where's the harm?
People need to lighten up sometimes.
And, no, I have never bought a personal plate.

Neighbour has been most vociferous in his objection to personalised plates. His children have just bought him one for his 65th birthday! Now what does he do?
The custom in the major bike races is to award the leader of catagories with a jersey to signify they are leading that catagory.
e.g. Yellow for GC, Polka dot for KoM, Green for sprinter.
Nowadays, the TO55ERS are wearing matching helmet, shorts, socks, shoes and having specially painted bikes to emphasise the fact.
What's that all about? Are they not satisfied enough with just a poxy jersey?

If someone buys me a present that I genuinely don't want I don't use it. I don't see the point.

The double 'OO' (amongst others) after the first letter of the old-style registration numbers (pre 2001) is registered to Essex.
Whenever my dad got a new car, my mum was at pains to make sure that the reg. no. wasn't a 'POO' or 'LOO'!
I'm sure that if you were to search the internet, or 'pop' down to Essex and had a look around the scrap car yards, you'd probably find a 'GOO something'.
It might be worth buying a banger just for the plate; IF that's your thing!

Today I saw on a black Mercedes, the one that's not sure whether it's a van or a car, blacked out windows, the number plate .......... B16 FAT.
