A carefully placed screw in the first number one, and it's Bob's your auntie's live in lover.
Friend of ours had H12 TOB
Altered it to H1 2 TOB (his nickname)
Got done for speeding and did the "Haven't you got better things to do" argument with the PC involved
The reply was "Yes Sir, we also deal with MOT failures and illegal number plates.... the spacing is illegal and would fail an MOT"
He than had to report with a correctly spaced plate.
He had spent a small fortune on it, and it was now obsolete as it made no sense

I've always assumed anyone with private plates is a complete nobber, that said I've just found a good one for my new car

£250 on a (cheap) poser plate that makes 90% of the population think you're a bit of a nob*, or spend that much on stuff for the bike?
No contest really, is it?
* - no offence if you've got one...

We knew a Pastor with 605PEL until there was one complaint from an atheist chap who said that he found it offensive, reported it to the police. Pastor G just had the plates remade with a gap in, just to keep people's faces straight.

Like most "risk factors", it is a possibility
Prat plates ..... assumed risk
Prat Plates on a Chavriolet..... medium risk
Prat plates on a BMW.... higher risk
Prat plates on an Audi...... Extreme risk

Personalised plates are not my scene, but such things as ABC 1 etc. I can understand. But the plates that seem to me to be in code, that you would need an Enigma machine to decipher, seem somewhat pointless.

All Mr M's family have personalised plates except him (maybe too stingy) 
If we're on a long journey we occassionaly pass the time
making rude sayings from number plates last three letters.
Eg,
WKR - self gratification artist
CNT -
MFR - mother * *
etc, etc
I could go on but I won't
The list is endless.

Leeds council still has U1 on the mayoral Jag... surprised they haven't sold the plate given that they're constantly moaning about not having any money.

They still do that. The first two letters in the new plates identify which DVLA office the vehicle was first registered at but the letters allocated are different to the old system. List of the current area codes here: link.
Chelmsford would now be in the range EA to EY

Somewhere on the island of Bressay, in Shetland, we saw a fairly modest house with three cars in the drive. One was something like a Porsche; the other two were SUVs with number plates that spelt BRESSAY and WHALSAY (which is another island in the archipelago).
