Page 3 | 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?

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.

I don’t think anyone is hating anything here, just expressing an opinion of tacky and cringey (in their opinion)

Quite amusing how wound up that gets some people…it’s just an opinion, and not something that’s really all that insulting, although it obviously does to some.

It said.. MONNEY 1
On a 15 year old Audi A4😂
Well they obviously didn’t have much money. I mean, would you be seen driving around in that?
Seriously it wouldn't bother me.
Neither the plate , the age of the car or the type of car. If it drives ,it's already winning for ne. I'm not skint or rich either.
I just don't care.

It would make me smile.
I have learned on this thread, that some tradespeople have a personalised number plate related to their trade on their vans. I kind of want to look out for them now.

I would rather hang out with a nice person who had a personalised number plate and tucked their leggings into their white socks than someone who judged those who do.

We do know your type OP, and I for one am not impressed!

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 29/04/2025 22:57

@330ml eh ???

Lonelycrab · 29/04/2025 22:55

But not a personalised one

Which is what the thread is about.

@DrPrunesqualer ’rich’ has been mentioned a lot to be fair 💰

Difference is we all have to have clothes, footwear and some sort of haircut.

It’s very telling that the opinion of the PNP lovers always without fail put it down to ‘sour grapes’ /jealousy or forelock tugging awe of them being ‘rich’ enough to afford a £500 reg plate

i think they all drank the Kool Aid 🤷🏻‍♀️

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!

@DrPrunesqualer ah come now you just sound bitter and jealous cus he is ‘rich’ and dripping with sovereign rings

Numnumbirdy · 29/04/2025 22:42

Each to their own sounds like sour grapes to me

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 29/04/2025 22:34

@DrPrunesqualer stalker alert ?

i know
and i don’t have electronic gates to keep them out even though My neighbour with his really really cras personal number plate wanted to put one on my drive 🤣🤣🤣……

DrPrunesqualer · 29/04/2025 22:36

ICanTellYouMissMe · 29/04/2025 22:33

So @DrPrunesqualeryou dont like personalised reg plates, ostentatious jewellery or, randomly, big gates 😁

Its a rich people thing then 🤷‍♀️

If you mean rich people don’t like them then possibly
I don’t think it’s a rich, poor or middle of the road thing however

I just think some people think these things are tacky.

If you read my post it notes that opinions on PNPs being tacky is quite a normal thing.
Many people think this.
Its not about being a j….. b….
Nor is it for no reason because we can all like, dislike, think something is tacky or naff for whatever personal reason we have.
I don’t like people dripping in diamonds and gold for example, I think it’s tacky
I don’t like electronic gates in the countryside, another tacky one.

People can do what they like just as much as others can think their taste is cras and tacky. We don’t all have to Love everything everyone does and we can’t go about our lives with our eyes closed.

@Lonelycrabwe all - if we drive - also have to have a reg plate too 🤷‍♀️

Your arguments are shit mate; just own it and admit you’re unpleasantly judgy! We’re all anonymous here, you can just say it.

Calm down it’s only an internet forum

My “arguments” are shit lol.
I have the personal opinion that PNs are tacky and cringey, just like the majority of other people. It’s what the thread is about.

You don’t have to agree with my opinion; lighten up. But understand that most people also think it’s tacky and cringey, that’s all, and you do you!

DrPrunesqualer · 29/04/2025 22:21

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 29/04/2025 22:17

@ICanTellYouMissMe again …..nobody thinks ‘rich’ 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly ! …. Maybe PNP users think everyone thinks that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Accept it
Its a thing
Lots of people think PNPs are tacky .

why not try Googling it. You’ll see

Lonelycrab · 29/04/2025 22:17

ICanTellYouMissMe · 29/04/2025 22:11

I don’t have one 🤣

I just think you’re very very wrong that everyone buys them to impress others: I work in the car industry and while there are a great number of rich wankers who like to show off, they’re outnumbered by people who just love everything and anything about cars, and who love and breathe every little detail of them.

For a lot of them, they save for years to get a project car, and spend many more years rebuilding it by hand, down to the smallest detail. Why wouldn’t they include a reg that makes them smile while they’re at it?

Your basic snidey judgement just shows that you don’t get it.
