I've got a personalised plate slightly mis spelling my first name.

Cost £250. On an 22 year old car so defeats the 'too much money' arguments.

However, being a **** argument. Guilty.

But then again IDGAF.

(Actually it was a birthday present). :lol:

I’m on a contract for a company and the 3 main bosses all have personalised number plates and the guys in the warehouse are trying to get a wage rise but the bosses say business has not picked up enough ……. It does grate with them.

They also sound like Tory voters and Johnson fans, Q,

Very worrying.

I’ve got one……fairly subtle, and conveniently masks the fact my car is getting old. Wasn’t expensive, and would get most of the money back if I sold it :shrug:

Interested to know why it would annoy/affect in any way at all anyone else

Mrs Earle is a avid fan with a blue car and a blue BHA cushion on the parcel shelf in full view. The car is 20 years old, so hardly a status symbol, but I gave her a BHA number plate for her birthday which she loves. Also includes her initial and the last 3 numbers of her mobile number, coincidentally the number of the beast! Personally, I wouldn't suggest she is a ***** if you want to see the new season!

What if it was a gift ?

I'm guessing that whoever bought it for you thinks you're a **** :wink:

I happened to say to my son that I was thinking of getting one for my mid life crisis car. He asked how much it would be and then stood over me and made me donate that amount to a charity he chose. I guess he now thinks I'm a bit of a **** too :lolol:

That was some years back, I think he had a fair point and I haven't considered one since.

I have had many interactions with drivers of both these vehicles. Majority are arrogant ****s

My old Beamer has got tinted windows and a personalised number plate. One of the worst business meetings I had in my whole career was in Malta, so the majority living there must be genuinely horrible :D

They don't have to be expensive, mine cost £250 and there are thousands at that price on the DVLA site.. Some people are happy to spend that on a couple of pairs of trainers, which I happen to think is a bit ***** :wink:

There are plenty of versions of B055 I do tend to think dickhead when I see one. On another note I was sure I was behind Knockhaert the other week black Audi with a number plate AK and a couple of numbers can’t quite remember.

Yeah I do too. This seems a very odd reason to mark someone out as a ****. If you don't like them or see the point of them, don't buy one. Does the OP also have a problem with, I don't know, Ed Sheeran fans or people with tattoos?

I used to work with a guy who bought 1 RH for £250k back in 2008. He’s now selling and asking £390k. If he gets the asking price does this that make him a ****? ???

That is a VERY cool numberplate imo :shrug:

I like personalised plates as long as they don’t need to be buggered about with to make up some name or hilarious phrase

Not so cool now, sadly, I think it's on a Mazda 2 :eek: :lolol:

I have no issue with them at all. I'm sure there are some ***** who have them on their cars but, as I said, most people I know are not ****y in the slightest.

Oh, you'll hate me, I did employ people, retired now, but I have personalised plates on the cars, and a few on retention. I've been buying and selling them for years, and have had a couple of nice holidays on the profits. Will sell "FA66 ENG" as we start to approach the World Cup, such events always inflate the value 20% or so.

People who walk slowly or block the whole passage in food stores. ***** the whole lot.

Agreed. There should be a minimum speed limit in supermarkets, and a maximum time limit of 5 minutes to do your weekly shop.

Any interaction with other customers, like stopping for small talk, should result in an immediate ban from the store.
