The wrapper they come in, fresh from the supermarket. (usually orange, with various writing on). I don't know the exact constituents, but I think it's more airtight than many food wrappers.

People who anthropomorphise their pets. There's a lot of it about at the moment, with dogs and cats pictured wearing various human-inspired halowe'en costumes. Worse is when the owners claim that the pet "loves his cute costume!!!!". And don't get me started on "fur babies".
I'm not against pets - far from it, I have a dog now and have had cats and horses in the past - I love them to bits but ultimately they are animals, not people.

People who claim to be "doing Movember" when in fact they are just using Movember as an excuse to grow a moustache for a laugh, taking no heed at all to the Movember rules nor, indeed, using it as a way to raise awareness of or funds for men's health issues.

I think at some point a couple have sat in a pub after a few pints and said 'Nah!, stupid idea, dogs in clothes.' One of them did a sample run and now lives in a castle somewhere. Likewise buggies for dogs! They are everywhere! Dogs have a leg in each corner specifically for getting around on! Utterly absurd.

That British Standard AU 145dd, as shown on the plate, is now out of date.

The people I know with dogs in buggies have elderly dogs who can't walk as far as they used to. So now they can take them with their other dogs and still enjoy a walk.
I don't see what's wrong with that.
Do you think the same about wheelchairs and Zimmer frames ?

Are you sure it isn’t still relevant for plates issued before a certain year (when regulations may have been updated)?

It’s probably a glitch.
Motorists who insist on not parking in a shops car park but on adjacent access roads etc particularly today when one clown had parked smack in front of the cycle stands - not wholy inaccessible but a bit of joggling of a heavy ebike I was not expecting.
