    Car showrooms used to have to open from just before midnight on letter
    change day - then do 80 per cent of the year's business in one day. Chaos...

    nothing to stop anyone making up a plate with anything on it in this
    country, until recently. Now you have to prove you own the car and show the
    document (our version of the pink slip) before they will make it..

    years ago there was a local plate, on a Ford Cabriolet driven by a nice
    blonde which read SEX 1E. One supposes that her husband earned loads of
    brownie points for that.
     Until, that is, she was stopped for some traffic offence and the police
    discovered that this plate did not exist. He was nicked, fined and divorced!

    Best Cheers
