I have seen several personalised number plates recently which have caught my eye.
The first is on a shabby looking pickup, and reads E9UUS - without a gap. The font of the "9" has been tweaked to look more like a "q". One can only assume the driver is into horses in a big way.
Another one I see regularly parked at my station is a smart Mercedes sports jobbie, with the plate which used to read C1SC X - I always wondered if it belonged to some fat cat manager type who worked for CISCO (makers of internet hardware routers and switches - an "x" being shorthand for a switch in networking circles). The driver seemed pretty dull so I haven't approached to ask him! And I notice recently that The Boys In Blue must have had a word with him about the non-standard spacing of his plate - it reappeared recently reading C1 SCX as it should!
But one has to wonder about the psyche of someone who is happy to drive around in a car with the plate which reads B19 POO - in this case the "9" looked distinctly like a "g"!
Off to see Hilly's benefit game on Sunday, which should be fun. Loads of big names in the World XV team. But the weather looks a bit iffy, so it might end up being a bit of a muddy affair.

Good grief, it's all about rugby here, isn't it? Not much of a sporty fellow, you see. I came waltzing in from over at Litlove's blog: love your comments there.
We don't have the plate thing over here (all very boring, standardized 3 digit, three letter ones) so we try making up funny meanings as if they were abbreviations. Not nearly as exciting though.
Cheers!
Hi Napfisk! Thanks for your comment. I would have thought my blogname and username might have given you a bit of a warning on my blog's theme ;-)
You may wonder why I hang around in LitLove - well the author is a very old friend - we've known each other since we were 11! So I know lots of her secrets, ha.
Thanks for stopping by my corner of blogdom.
Don't worry, I won't spill your secrets - after all, you know most of mine too!
Liked the car sticker, I will have to keep my eye out for those too - but not when I'm driving, perhaps. :-D
