I sometimes work with and ex old bill and as well as telling you he was a plod, he also uses a police style notepad thing in meetings..Why do people who have been in the armed forces or police feel the need to mention it all the time ??
We’ve a new PM at work. In every meeting he starts at least one sentence with “when I was in the RAF”. Which is then usually followed by a story completely unrelated to the issue being discussed.

I don't mind d that people want to spend their money on these things..it's their money....
But..
When they move the spacings to try to spell,out their name and, well, it just doesn't......it doesn't remotely spell anythjng
And if the only people who do know what it means are those that own the car...what's the point?

Oops, do you have an issue with them.
I can't see the issue with a genuine cherished plate, but I can see the issue with incorrectly spaced ones as Imurg mentioned.
Mine was left to me by my late father ...................... is he the PEN15, or is it me.
Just curious.

I find them all amusing. In that way, they are all the same to me.

I’ve been saying this for years. Unless it spells out a proper word or name with no ambiguity then it is utterly pointless.

Missis T has a personalised number plate with her proper Name on it and mine ( well nearly ) she found it whilst I was looking for a plate for a VXR Corsa I had at the time. Anyway she rang the DVLA as it was on there site. She gave them the plate number and was read out a written contract over the phone which stipulated you cannot move any letters or numbers, or alter letters or numbers. Missis T agreed to the contract.
So Missis T then had a natter with the guy at the DVLA about the last four digits on the plate and why she choose them. She mentioned they are similar to my name. The guy said “ oh heck”. Missis T asked what the problem was. He then went onto explain that the DVLA check all number plates being released and if any can make names, there is a premium to pay. Especially plates that can make double names. Like the one she had just bought. Missis T acting thick asked “how can the last four digits make a name“ He replied “ well it would not be to hard to make AN07 look like ANDY”. Missis T reminded the guy that he had just read out a verbal contract saying you are not allowed to do that. He just laughed And said” you have just bought a plate under half the price it should of been”.

You'll probably find that they are actually a minority of ex-services and cops who are equally irritating to their former colleagues as they are to you.Why do people who have been in the armed forces or police feel the need to mention it all the time ??

Surely it’s “why do a small minority..”
prob safer that way than lumping a whole group in together.
There are lots and lots who won’t mention once or even want to talk about it
