Personalised number plates - cringey?

Inspired by the mum I see most mornings on the school run. Range Rover, personalised plate, leggings tucked into white socks - I’m sure you know the type!

Anyway, personalised number plates - yay or nay?

I’m mostly concerned with what’s wrong with socks over leggings. 😬

Nothing, if it makes you happy. Much like your choice of number plate.

How do use the twat word?

Show quote history

I don’t like Keir Starmerererer. He’s a twat: ok

You! Grrr poster that either doesn’t like PN or does… you’re a twat!!!!!!
not ok.

I think that’s the rules.

Well perhaps if it’s aggressive or abusive it’s better that you didn’t. We can say all sorts of swear words here and it not a problem depending on how they’re used

How on earth do you put t**t in a sentence if it's not calling someone?

Thanks for clearing that up. I will not type what I'm thinking right now.

There’s nothing wrong with twat as a word.

Its if, in the context of the post, it was used in an aggressive or abusive way. Thats my guess. You can’t just call someone a twat because you don’t agree with their point.

We both have one. They’re good in that they are totally clear on what they’re saying name wise. I wasn’t bothered but quite like it now I have one, my husband bought it for my car because he likes them.

Yeah I think this is the shein slapper my husband had an affair with. Five kids all in fake brands but she was such a breath of fresh air whilst I cared for our disabled daughter.

Are there just some swear words you can't say?

Or is it if you call someome a swear word, like- you are a *

But it's OK to say I was * starving

?

I believe you. I really should have watered my plants tonight.

Tw&t is a perfectly acceptable word in my vocabulary, so not sure why it was removed…

MyNameIsX · 30/04/2025 20:23

No, I did not report you.

I was watering some plants so I missed your original reply.

I think they’re pretty naff but I don’t really care what other people spend their money on what they chose to drive/wear. I drive a teenager’s car on the school run, in no make up, supermarket clothes with brightly dyed hair and tattoos- I’m sure plenty of people wouldn’t choose my attire either 🤣

I'm actually not offended.

Did you report me for swearing? It was banter 🤣

Why can't you say the t**t word? I'd have normally used a stronger word?

XenoBitch · 29/04/2025 22:57

Does it actually matter? If people want one, and a lot of them look like normal number plates to start with, then what does it matter to you?
This place.... how does anyone actually live a normal life when they are spending so much energy hating something that does not not affect them whatsoever.

Show quote history

You don't have to spend very much energy at all thinking personalised number plates are a bit naff. You go about your business but, when you come across one, you think the thought. Piece of piss.
