Is it not a fairly common human trait to want to personalise your possessions with a name? Stop me if I've told you this before but... I was once involved in a raft race on the river Forth, for charity. You made your own raft and two of you crewed it. There they were at the start all with their names clear for all to see: The Valkyrie, Doom Dodger, Flying Scot, Kon Tiki 2., etc., etc. But the one next to us took the biscuit: it was called "George". Killed me.

Our local vicar has "L 2 CUM" on his old banger. Cracks me up every time i see him. Last November I very nearly bought a car on the strength of it's (non-personalised) number plate, the last letters of which were FCU. Sums up how I was feeling at the time!! The one I bought in the end finishes AAH, which I guess I'll get tired of less soon...

My car has the prefix P45. I'd signed for it before the penny dropped.

I worked in the jobcentres at the time. I had to park it streets away cos all the claimants thought I was taking the wee-wee.

As if I would :twisted:

Dear Lizzie, P45, penny dropped and wee-wee, you weren't a toilet attendant were you. :shock: :D :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Cheeky bugger :wink:

No, I used to work with disabled jobseekers, helping to build their confidence and helping them to find work. It was a good job for a while, then I started to rebel against "the rules" and stupid, idiotic, jobsworths who didn't know their arse from their elbows, so I transferred departments.

There was a saying where I worked, civil servants never die, just transfer to a new department :twisted:

Also PEN ** - I leave it to you to investigate :!:

Yes, £145,000 is quite a lot! Thanks for the link though Alan, there were some quite amusing ones in amongst those,
