it's definitely a rich thing around here, we have 3 families that own and run a lot of businesses round here and have bought the majority of the houses where they live (sad and in competition with each other I think!) all have private plates, so we all know which family they belong to 🤣

Don't think so I've never known anyone who finds life so dull that they need to go on a website to tell thousands of random strangers their views about something so trivial. They might mention it to a friend, then forget about it.

Show quote history

Mnet and all chat rooms are full of threads on trivial matters.
If people aren’t interested they can scroll on by and find something they are interested in.

Personally i love living in a world full of variety.

They're not for me, but my DP's parents both have one, and they bought him one for his 30th birthday. They're absolutely lovely people though and as far removed from tacky as it's possible to be!

Yes, my family members who have one that is in memory of their late child are doing it because they are flashy. I don't think so. Their car is not flashy.

Some people really can't think outside of the box.

But not a personalised one

Which is what the thread is about.

You don’t need personalised clothes either. A national uniform would do.

As a “I have surplus money to waste” indicator they are no worse than jewellery or Funko Pops in my eyes

Cosyblankets · 30/04/2025 08:24

Didn't know there was anything wrong with tucking leggings into socks. Do enlighten me if there's any other things i might be doing that affect your day in any way

This thread is actually nuts. Personalised plates are quite common where I live, and some of them are rather clever. People in the UK seem to get so wound up over things people in other countries pay no attention to.

Yeah…sometimes that parochial small minded attitudes on here make me realise that I’m stuck on a tiny island with…well, rather a lot of arseholes.

Oh here we are. Thete hasn't been a private plate bashing thread for what a week 🙄

Some people like them and buy them. Some people don't. I think judging people for having them is ridiculous though.

People spend money on different things - what a shocker

I don't think it's bashing as you call it in general, but it's not in dispute that some are vulgar. There's a big difference between initials on a plate and things like X80 TOX, B165 TUD(jiggled about to suit) and the like. They are laughable.

Tbrh · 30/04/2025 07:30

I think clever ones or ones that go with the car can be cool. But a Range Rover is not cool so def cringe and trying too hard. One of the mums here has one that says "Sexy" 😳 I cringe every time I see it l 🤣

NeverDropYourMooncup · 30/04/2025 07:12

Don't really give a monkey's one way or the other - they can make it easier to remember the registration of a car that stinks of weed or in the event of there being an accident to report, though.

Wishywashylaundry · 30/04/2025 06:57

So bizarre how upset people get over what others spend their money on

PNP’s on a run-of-the-mill motor, are akin to the cheapest LV tote.
They scream ‘look at me’, ‘wannabe’, and ‘try-hard’.

As I say, fur coat, sans underwear.

Otherwise, I find them simply naff, but not offensive. Knock yourselves out, PNP lovers.

Its not a rich thing
I’m sure they all know that, it would be sad if they didn’t tbh.

It’s a taste thing and we are not all the same. Thank goodness!

Mine is very important to me and holds a lot of emotion.
I'm about as far away as being a 'chav' as possible. Totally boring middle aged glasses wearing geek.

I fit most people's idea of what a chav is on here lol and if that makes me one.... fine with me! (also wear glasses and middle aged lol)

I wouldn't personally go for that one. But each to their own.

Cardiecard · 29/04/2025 23:11

personally I like to name cars when they piss me off so it’s nice of them to have a name badge 🤣

Mine isn’t personalised as such, just sheer coincidence it is almost my nickname and came with my first old lil car. I retained it, it’s more obvious it’s been retained now on a new car.

But I didn’t know leggings tucked into white socks was a type. What type is it?
