Scandal-ous! (See what I did there?)

Seriously, could anyone find "SN07" offensive?

FFS :roll:

As bad as Birmingham's "Winterval" instead of Christmas holiday to avoid offending other religions.

What they didn't bank on was the outcry from all religions for causing religious friction...

Stupid cnuts - wonder if they banned ** *5 NOT reggys too?, and what about :

** *5 HAG
** * 5 HIT

There must be sooo many !!
Wonder how much they pay someone to spend their time looking for potential rude or offensive words ir plates before they release them?

They'll sell you a plate with CUM at the end though.

I bet the DVLA want to retain all the snotty plates to sell privately.

17576 possible permutations at at least £250 a plate is nearly £4.4m

This makes sense, as last time I was in Edumbra there were a number of cars from 'local' dealers with the TN07 - I thought it might be due to some of them using centralised registration, but no so.

I think it's a load of bollox - I'd love a SN07 number - on a krypton green Exige S please...

It's a nanny state... and I can see no end to it.

I can't take a camera to my kids school when they do their nativity play in case I'm posting pictures of other school kids on the web for all my mates to have their kicks over.

My kids school don't do anything for halloween in case it discriminates minorities (Fecking halloween...WTF!!)

Thing is... they didn't actually ask anyone first (much like this reg plate thing). Some ar$ehole in a suit somewhere is getting patted on the back for these kind of decisions... and getting paid to make them.
I have no signature.

SN08 going to be outlawed as well then?

Do you think TO55 ERS is still available?

And as for no cameras at school productions, well, Eilidh isn't even 2 yet but I am looking forward to that campaign I can tell you. World gone fecking mad.
