If you opened this and thought BJ referred to a certain sexual act then it may support DWs thoughts on the subject!

Now to explain - bought a 'new' car and everything is fine except DW noticed the registration is BJ xx xxx!! Why didn't we pick one of the other cars at the garage instead??

Neither of us is a fan of personalised plates but would you make the change over in this case? BTW - DW may need to use it on occasions to go to her secondry school.....

I haven't posted for a while as busy with new job but this dilemma has just come up (so to speak).

LOL wouldn't bother me...I'd just smile knowingly and remain silent if anyone commented!

Overmydeadbody · 18/05/2009 14:11

I really don't think people notice the number plates of other people's cars enough for BJ to be a problem.

MamaG · 18/05/2009 14:12

Nah I'd find it funny

MaDuggar · 18/05/2009 14:13

My poor DD has the initials BJ

Id never change her name though!

JulesJules · 18/05/2009 14:14

See, I saw BJ and thought "Bo Jangles" - so, it wouldn't bother me...

TrinityIsLovingHerLittleRhino · 18/05/2009 14:15

dont give it a second thought
and thats coming from someone who does read number plates
yesterday I saw 'egg' at the end of one

and I see a car with ebm at the end and always think expressed breast milk lol

hobbgoblin · 18/05/2009 14:16

If it were a personalised plate and had BJ in the reg then you'd have a problem, but with all those other letters and numbers folk will hardly notice.

I opened it thinking it was BJ in the sexual sense of the acronym I must admit.

knickers0nmahead · 18/05/2009 14:20

agree with hg

fizzpops · 18/05/2009 14:20

There used to be a brown Ford Escort around where I used to live with a number plate incorporating the word 'poo' - now that is unfortunate...

FrankMustard · 18/05/2009 14:21

don't think anyone will notice

OrmIrian · 18/05/2009 14:21

I don't think it's going to occur to many people TBH.

We used to have BOP which I quite liked.

Lemontart · 18/05/2009 14:22

I agree with hg too - if not personalised then I never spot words or acronyms unless obvious 3 letter ones at the end

HuwEdwards · 18/05/2009 14:25

Unless it

BJ YES

BJ PLS

BJ OK

BJ N0W

I would ignore

BitOfFun · 18/05/2009 14:26

There was one in front of me the other day with BNP- now that would bother me.

KingCanuteIAm · 18/05/2009 14:28

What Huw said!

MorningTownRide · 18/05/2009 14:32

When I was 14 I tried to tattoo BJ into my arm. Luckily it didn't work.

BJ -Bon Jovi

If I saw a BJ number plate I would have an inner snurk.

HuwEdwards · 18/05/2009 14:32

oh, but expect it to cause much amusement, nudging and double-entendres among the kids at secondary school..

I lived at a house with BJ in the postcode. It was amusing if anything.

BradfordMum · 18/05/2009 14:40

Ignore it!
We used to have Renault 25 and the reg was

CUM 690H

LOL.

AnonIsLegion · 18/05/2009 14:46

Oh and how your members railed at the childish anons. Yet you're talking about BJ in a number plate. Tee hee.

SexyDomesticatedDad · 18/05/2009 14:48

BM - thats is an excellent plate!! Reminds me when I used to visit my DW when we were students - had to get the 69 bus route from town to her house .

My car number plate ends in FFB. A unfriend said to me it must stand for fat fecking bitch

Annoying thing is, I bought it new, and could have picked a different letter for the last letter But no I went for B as that's what my surname begins with... not that I was really bothered at the time!

BitOfFun · 18/05/2009 15:05

Oh I love BradfordMum's one! My DP found his car had had the reg B1G 80Y at one point when he part-exed it. Thank god it wasn't thatwhen he was driving it- I don't think I could have got in it

bleh · 18/05/2009 15:27

I thought it was referring to blow jobs and hence am very disappointed that it isn't another MN sex thread.

Imagine my poor High School Art Teacher's shock when she heard me and my friend (aged 12) going on about blow jobs. We thought it was talking about blowing out or farting, and hence thought it was very funny.
