P4ORN. On a big shiny eff off 4x4. Stuck behind him on the roads today. Felt irritated that someone would pay money to declare their love of porn publicly and concluded he must be an utter wanker. Literally.

Two plates in the same close M155 FXY and SX51 MOM I think they are all so full of their own self importance if they have to have a personalised number plate. The only one I would like is ELV15, since I am a lifelong Elvis fan, but sadly this is already on big American car which I saw in London about 5 years ago!

Went my FIL's funeral and as we drove into the cemetery in the funeral car, there in the car park was a car that belonged to a very bolshy bloke we didn't particularly like. NOB 1 cheered us all up immensely

Round where we live there is someone with a big fancy pick up truck with the reg G1MP X

It is always driven by a woman in her 40s Confused

All personalised number plates are vulgar.

My neighbours have matching plates, "2 BE" on his and "NOT 2 BE" on hers!

Ooo SherbrookeFosterer you live in a nice part of London, those are always parked by the river.

I saw one on the M25 a few months ago M1NGE - I didn't think they allowed the rude ones? It was on a Range Rover driven by a twatty looking bloke with a girl in the passenger seat. At the time I thought what would it take for me to get in a car with that number plate....Hmm

Finding it slightly ironic that mumsnetters with have pretty 'imaginative' usernames have such strong negative opionions about personalised number plates Hmm

There's one near me that's is
WE11 HNG

But there is a meat company nearby called the well hung meat company

There's a clear majority on here that have a problem with personalised number plates.

I think if someone has something vulgar on it, then it's inappropriate to display to everyone. But a few letters and numbers which means something personal to the owner - what's the problem with that ?

Either women on here are jealous because they can't afford their own or have nothing better to do except just moan!!!

Jaspzeb · 23/05/2017 20:13

Saw this a few years ago.

H 01 UGE seen twice this week on a huge (yes) black bully wagon always towing something extra large behind it and always squeezing through the lanes whilst the rest of us give way unacknowledged. Reminds me I must tie my wing mirror back on.

Someone near me has LTB on their reg p!ate. Always think of mumsnet when I see that.

NotACleverName · 23/05/2017 20:17

I just love a good sneery personalised number plates are vulgar thread.

Of all the things to get a bee in your bonnet about...

nancy75 · 23/05/2017 20:36

I live the way the number plates are vulgar poster just dropped that she lives near cars that have been identified as belonging to a very famous actor in a swish part of London

The DVLC did not issue WA11KER

squiz81 · 23/05/2017 21:00

I'm not a fan of personalised plates but our local ice cream van has the plate 'l0llies' and I love that.

leighb23 · 23/05/2017 21:12

Always - I'm pleased to hear you say that!! My number plate is LE16HBX
MY name is Leigh Bates.
I don't really care what all the haternetters think but i think it's cool. 😋

cherish123 · 23/05/2017 21:17

I think all cherished/personalised number plates are twatish.

PickAChew · 23/05/2017 21:17

An old guy near us had VUxxLVA, but I think that was entirely accidental!

Frankthefrog · 23/05/2017 21:20

Not personalised but was stuck behind VO17 FUD imagine getting a brand new car and that being your plate 😂😂😂

clarabellb · 23/05/2017 21:40

YANBU

All personalised plates (unless business related) are twattish imo.

LadyMcLokington · 23/05/2017 21:45

Saw one recently, in nearly crashed driving past it.

I've no doubt the gentleman bought the private plate for his big shiny jag because it's his initials. But i (or one) Paedo? Really?!

SherbrookeFosterer · 23/05/2017 22:13

JapaneseTea - Shush!

They are! And tbh they are lovely people!

Madamfrog · 23/05/2017 22:29

We don't have personalised numbers in France but a little film made on the motorway was very popular on social media here, it showed a GB registered car containing 4 respectable looking elderly people going sedately along, but the number plate read GRO5 CON which is French for 'big twat', they must have wondered why all the French people were howling with laughter and taking pictures.
