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.

I've seen a KKK one and a BJ one round my way...I mean even if they were my initials I just wouldn't!

TheDowagerCuntess · 22/05/2017 19:28

I think the fact that a significant proportion of people use them as almost a golden opportunity to air their twattishness in full regalia, makes it a bit shit for the nice people who get them. Tainted by association, sort of thing.

My car is BJ! Blush

But I was allocated it in France.

I saw FFS 1 a couple of weeks back which gave me the envy Envy

Someone round the corner to me has UD04 SUM. Makes me cringe whenever I see it. Doesn't help it's a jag bleurgh.

Other neighbours have 2 cars and one has mum and one has dad.

My DH has a number a letter then his initials. Not too bad lol.

Mintylizzy9 · 22/05/2017 19:39

@squirreltrap I think we're neighbours! I've seen a blond women driving it as well....I mean WTF!

Also have seen a massive black merc locally with the plate OB1 🖖🏻

We have I think D3ll BOY here owner of the range and I WKD which is down to interpretation

Queenofthedrivensnow · 22/05/2017 19:45

Mostly around here the plates are on vw transporters and relate to either surfing or stand up paddle boarding.

Lanaa · 22/05/2017 19:54

I can't believe people think they're twattish. I understand that they're unnecessary but why twattish? We both have one. DP has letter, number and then initials and mine spells my first name. Slightly worried the neighbours think we're twats now!

SouthernComforts · 22/05/2017 19:55

I saw a souped up Renault recently with the reg CL10 NOB. Made me laugh.

I see C4 KE quite often, and HI DUG.

Hulababy · 22/05/2017 19:57

I quite like lots of the business related ones, on commercial vans etc.

Not so keen on the twee ones. A car near here has something along the lines of 247 DAD - a bit too twee for me. And I really dislike the ones spelling out dodgy phrases, etc. But I guess at least you know what to expect from the drivers, in advance.

A friend has one that simply includes her nickname - it looks like a normal number plate tbh but it is relevant to her. I see no issue with that. Not necessarily something I want to spend money on but its harmless.

What do many personalised number plates say to be re the drivers?

Its been their birthday, possibly a significant one. They are usually a bit older, been together for a while, they've a bit of cash, some more the others, have already been bought/have bought the other more obvious 'big' presents, and their partner didn't know what to buy them this time round. So they went for a personalised plate.

I think they are utterly twattish personally.
However my last car plate ended with the letters WNK, much to the amusement of my teen DC's!!

I hate private regi's

ma, that would be hilarious, for everyone else!

ssd · 22/05/2017 20:04

southern, whats HI DUG?

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 22/05/2017 20:11

I quite like the ones that reflect what company owns/drives the car. The local nursery owner drives a car with the reg N555 ERY or something.

I did see one today "BR5 ALL" which at first glance I thought spelled Brothel Blush

dementedma · 22/05/2017 20:32

Yeah, the kids used to call the car the Wankmobile!!

Sorry to say, but they probably do! That doesn't mean you are twats at all - I'm sure you're not - but I admit, I'd be silently judging if our neighbours each had them!

It can't be hard to see why people think they're twattish, when you see the twatty plates so many people seem to choose.

I'm baffled by one I see sometimes which is MO0 2 JEN. I mean, I worked with a woman called Jen who was a complete cunt, but I draw the line at spending money insulting her that way.

WhimsicalWinnifred · 22/05/2017 21:14

Squirreltrap and minty lizzy we must all be quite close... I came on this thread to say about pu55ay. I try to see him as I drive past but can't. He hogs the fast lane of the m1 going slow as but obviously he owns the road...

There is also an old volvo that says yea boy somehow. The b is an 8.

And ru53 boy

Mintylizzy9 · 22/05/2017 21:23

Ooh not VERY near the m1but not very far either!

Pu55SAY gets arooooooud! 💃🏼

Coulddowithanap · 22/05/2017 21:29

There is a 666 PMT in my area
Also saw S7AB and M0NEY recently.

WhimsicalWinnifred · 22/05/2017 21:38

Best joke ever!

I go most days from j15 to j14... b526 otherwise because people like pu55ay annoy me. I'm conveniently close to m1 butit's more convenient to avoid it all together. 😁

WhimsicalWinnifred · 22/05/2017 21:39

Oh and I've also seen t337hdr as in teeth doctor.
