Old useless phone numbers and license plates you can remember

[m20gull]

My first car a beetle PG181

My first car, also a Beetle, FPN109L. Replacement was a Rover 3500S, PJA695R.

I remember some number plates from when I was a kid:
My mum's MG Metro was D878 WYJ
My dad's Vauxhall Cavalier was H39 SYC

Completely useless information, and I have no idea what number plates they have now.

I wonder how many on here think that's a completely random number.

You've called the seagull line on Brighton 8049....

I find this phenomenon intensely annoying. I can remember all sorts of useless rubbish including phone numbers, licence plates and song lyrics from before the age of about 30. Then is was as if the storage filled up, and I've not been able to retain a bloody thing since.

This

In 1966 my dad bought a white Triumph Herald - 36 HKJ - I was 6 but for some reason that number was important to me - no idea why?
In 1971 he part-x'd it for a blue Mk 2 Cortina EUF 435D
In 1976 he bought a greed Hillman Avenger FMP 48J - when this failed its MOT in about 1982 it became my first car - "Sherman" as it had that many welded plates on it ...

Since then I've probably owned about 10 cars and 50 motorbikes but cannot remember any of their reg plates ...

I do recall and old phone number but since that forms part of most of my internet passwords, I'm not sharing with you lot....

So here's her Co-Op Divi number: 23116, not the first on here I see. Co-Op Divi numbers must have made a big impression on us post war youngsters via the door step repetition.
