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.

Luckily my neighbours have them too I got mine when I was into cars like lowering g them adding on stupid spoilers and the like! I was a DINKY and it was a birthday present! Now it's on my mummy mobile old banger Mazda 5 it's not quite as cool as it was on my beautiful MX5! I kept it this time as the car I bought had a plate in S99MTB that has a bit more value if anyone wants to buy it!!! Good for mountain bike riders or initials. Mine has one less didgit than my user name if you see me honk twice don't wave. Call me a twat all you like £250 on a number plate for me is waaaaay better than £500 on a handbag now that really gets my goat!!!!!

We have one that is about 50 years old, owned by my grandparents. They got it for free in those days. Smile

My friends mum got brought a personlised plate that says "5o naff" for her 50th birthday ....

You're right op. I cringe with embarrassment for the owners. Good to know they don't care about the sniggering though, I don't feel quite so bad now.

I've only ever seen one I liked and that looked like a completely normal number plate but the letters and numbers had significance for the owner.

Lulukat - can't be prawn as there's an extra R at the end.

But I do like your stretch for a good pun👍

I live in a very affluent area these days and rarely see any but remember a few from 10 - 15 years ago that I saw regularly where I used to work.
KINKS - no idea which was letters or numbers

Queenofthedtivensnow I think we must live in the same place...the d311boy and be transporters .......

StrangeLookingParasite · 22/05/2017 23:43

He paid £50 & its now worth around £90k so he is pretty pleased he bought it!

I bet he is! Goodness!

RockyBird · 23/05/2017 13:08

A pal of mine had a random one they got with their car that read ST15 FFY or similar which made me snigger...yes I have the dirty mind of a teenage boy.

MrBonkers · 23/05/2017 17:08

BI5 DIX - I kid you not, saw it twice in a month on my way to work a few years ago. Who needs to put that on their car.

hmbn · 23/05/2017 17:29

I think all personalised number plates are twattish - and their owners. How big must your ego be to pay extra for something like that? Don't people know there are thousands of people starving in the world?

Maireadplastic · 23/05/2017 17:31

THIS personalised number plate? Any personalised plate.

FlatBreadFeast · 23/05/2017 17:32

To me they just say 'my family has run out of birthday and Christmas gift ideas for me'.

Marmitelover55 · 23/05/2017 17:35

I have a cherished plate rather than a personalised one. It was the number plate that my mum had on her first car back in the 1950s - she moved it from car to car. Think three random letters followed by a single digit. Think it's also called a dateless plate as you can't tell which year it was from. She died last year and I love having it on my car Smile

ineedabodytransplant · 23/05/2017 17:35

As said many times. If you have a 'personalised number plate' YOU.ARE.A.TWAT.

No other reason. If you have a personalised plate, don't you realise everyone else thinks you're a dick?

If only the twats who pay out for their pathetic plates would spend the money on driving lessons we'd all win.

BikeRunSki · 23/05/2017 17:38

A farmer near us has XX EGG and XX LAY (xx are actually numbers).

And I used to see I AM 4T about, which I thought was rather sweet.

Madbengalmum · 23/05/2017 17:46

Marmite, I agree with you, I have no issue with proper cherished numbers, in fact i think they are nice. I hate bastardised number plates made to look like they say something, usually something stupid, which is what i am assuming most of the people on this thread are talking about.

Empireoftheclouds · 23/05/2017 17:47

i think all personalised number plates are twattish - and their owners. How big must your ego be to pay extra for something like that? Don't people know there are thousands of people starving in the world?. I think comments like that are twatish in the extreme. I don't even have personalised plates but I am clever enough to realise the old adage different stokes for different folks applies here. Do you seriously think people should not spend their money on things they enjoy because of starvation in the world? Or is it just personal plates you don't approve of? Is a radley handbag or a pair of jimmy choos ok?

whirlycurly · 23/05/2017 17:50

I saw p1g m4d yesterday which amused me. Smile

whirlycurly · 23/05/2017 17:52

Oh and there's also
D1ldo near us

On the blandest car driven by an ordinary looking Middle Aged lady. So inappropriate to drive anywhere with.

NewRoadToHappinessxx · 23/05/2017 17:53

I see B1 GET - why would you??? I kinda assume it driven by someone called Bridget but why would you drive around calling yourself a bigot ??

tryinghardnottocry · 23/05/2017 17:54

At my sons school there was an enormous commotion around a car with the number plate YES 1 CAN belonged to one of the parents

BLONDIEMUMMY · 23/05/2017 18:06

I see a Bentley daily with the plate UW15HXX or something along those lines- you get the jist. Couldn't be more tacky imho and that's not green eye either.

BLONDIEMUMMY · 23/05/2017 18:07

Mad! Bastardised number plates- literally made me lol 😂
