Did they see that you used the letter "A" to mean "I"? Or possibly they saw the word stupit, when you meant stupid?

Oh the irony

By the way, honestly not having a dig at you individually, just your example was too perfect to leave alone . My spelling is far from perfect, especially when typing fast (fat fingers you see). I have just noticed a fair number of users coming up with odd spellings for the simplest of words, things like "Yous" when they mean you and the A instead of I. Fords instead of Ford and so on.

Fair play on big words, but on the 1, 2 and 3 letter ones?

Back on the subject, my own private plate was still for sale a couple of months after I bought it on one site. I politely advised them of their error and the advert was removed. Wish they'd offered to take it off me for £1k


For £2800 you must have a pretty cool or short plate Mine was £250 and pretty much worthless to anyone else

in nuneton where i live "yous" is a widely used word, for example

"are yous (meaning more than one of you) coming over to my house"


also just looked up R1CH T as a reg and its 34k, think i will give it a miss, lol

try ebay for selling plates, the numberplate sites take the piss and are all hoping for someone high with lots of money to buy the plates, it think the only kind of people who buy them from those sites have enough money to do the gumball
