Where are you on personalised number plates? Are they just
for people with more cash than imagination who don’t know what to spend it on
except showing off?
I don’t want one myself, but I have to admit to noticing
them. Some members of the railway fraternity are certainly up for them.
Railwayana auction car parks often contain a sprinkling of LMS, GCR and GWR
reminders. I’ve also had my head turned by an EFC, or two, in my time.
What makes me smile most, is when the carefully re-arranged
digits are clearly meant to stand for something that is very significant for
the driver, but which is completely baffling to everyone else.
At the traffic lights on the way into town recently, a van
pulled up alongside us advertising Catherine’s Cakes, a Nottingham-based
confectionery company. The plate was AB 16 BAP, which, of course, had been
re-arranged to read A B16 BAP.
