How bloody much??
So my elder daughter is coming up for yet another expensive birthday, and being young, free and single, with her own car, unsubtle hints have been dropped that she'd like a personalised number plate for her girl racer motor, and that the vernacular form of her name just happens to be exactly 3 letters - CEZ. You endow your first born with a beautiful (and unique) name, and then some career-deprived troglodyte abbreviates it to "Cez" or, even worse, Cezzah".
Plates with a Z in them are ten-a-penny in Norn Iron, but on this side of the water, they're after 400 quid and more. I love her to bits, but 400 quid is beyond the budget I had in mind (by about 375 quid, if truth be told!)
However, while I'm on the registration plate site, I start looking around for plates that might be suitable for a middle-aged knackered ex-contractor - not that I ever would, of course, as there's no surer indicator of twattishness in man than a personalised number plate, but hey! There's no harm in looking.
I know! PAV 3R - how arsey would that be? So I type it into the search box. How bloody much??? Ten quid change from 9 grand? Plus VAT. Sod that! Even if I won the lottery this weekend, I don't think I could bring meself to spend ten grand plus on letting the world know that, not only am I a self-important narcissistic twat with more money than sense, I'm also a sad obsessive with a paving fixation!
If you thinks that's bad, they want 21 grand plus for PAV1N, and no sign at all of PAV 10R

My local block layer...different trading name each month, mobile nos only... has the following plates
B10CKS ("Blocks")
B10CKF ("Blockf?")
M4SON ("Mason")
P4VIN ("Pavin'")
He has these on two 7 tonne Ivecos, a range rover and a Jag XKR...shame he can't afford any road tax though...

W4NK3R would probably be a more appropriate plate for that sort of trader.
While I was at Glee, I got talking to a taxi driver taking me to the big dinner on the Monday night, and he told me he'd been left a reg plate in a will by one of his "regulars". Some old dear had a 1950s car that he never knew about parked up in the garage. He just turned up every week to take her down the post office for her pension. When she finally shuffled off this mortal coil, it turns out she left the car to him, along with the number plate YUR1 - any cosmonauts out there looking for a personal plate??
