to be mildly offended by the fella on his mobility scooter in Morrisons?

[MaureenMLove]

He's seen a lot around here. He has 'pimped his ride' so to speak and why shouldn't he. It's clearly his only means of getting around and that's fine, but the numberplate!

It says BOLLOXS. Which in itself is wrong, because that says, bollockss!

I just find it a bit offensive and wonder why no-one has suggested he removes it!

There is a car near where i live with the plate

U2 WAT

Are you offended cos of the spelling (how mumsnetty of you ) or the sentiment?

Not sure, both I think!

"Effing Joe" is quite well known locally to me, that is what it says on his front plate. His rear one says "EFF OFF" and although I suspect it started as a joke from the regulars at the pub he drinks in, his terrible unsafe "driving" means that he is refered to a "that fucking Joe" by everyone I know!

He either rides on the pavement, honking his horn at everyone to get out of his way , refusing to slow down and swearing at anyone in his way, adults and small kids alike. He has hit people, pushchairs, bins, you name it. Or hs is on the the road and all over the place, I almost hit a bus trying to avoid him once. He is not a popular chap!

So NBU at all from my pov! His number plate doesnt bode well for me!

Where do you draw the line if you ask him to remove a 'mildly offending' number plate? Look at French Connection with their FCUK campaign. Is that not the same?
