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.
We do similar, try to make little phrases and sentences with the letters and numbers, it usually ends up rude between me and the teenagers with Mrs SB tutting at us.
Yes I do that with the last 3 letters too, often with rude phrases and sentences as a result.
It wasn't always so though - When I was a kid, my Dad had a variety of company cars over the years and I remember one (a blue Astra Estate in the late '80s/early '90s) that ended in the letters
'CAK'
At the time I remembered it as 'almost CAKE', but, of course now, I'd think of KAK or Kack.
And since we are talking about registration plates here, my Mum, around the same time also had a small red Vauxhaul Nova hatchback that ended in the letters
'REG'
So the car was cristened 'Reggy'.
We saw that car a few years after my Mum sold it on. I guess it will be long scrapped now though. I bet the plates would be popular now with anyone called Reg, but it is too late for us to make money from it!
I have seen G145GOW, no idea where the owner of that plate might live!
Edinburgh??
I often see this guy at my local supermarket.
Kind of sums things up really...

At least he's being honest.
The other advantage found with these plates is that when involved in offences, the witnesses are more likely to remember the registration that a simple random series
Well, that's the thing, I seem to have trouble with things like these (text speak is similar) and I have often had to sit and think about some of the examples given on this thread (one or two I still don't get), so unless it was obvious as to what it was, I wouldn't remember it particularly. In fact, like
@jefmcg, I might not even recognise it as being a personalised plate at all.
