Ubique Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The West Mercia Police have put up for auction Vehicle Registration Mark .... AB1 , the VRM was issued to the Worcestershire Chief Constable in 1908 . They hope to raise £250,000. It appears that this had not gone down well with a number of people including retired Police Officers - they have signed a petition urging the Force to keep the plate. More than 700 people have signed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SON OF GRIDKNOCKER Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 According to newly-arrived Herefordian Richard Hammond, the DVLA and private mart sales of personalised number plates is now worth £100-million a year. Which seems an awful lot of money to shell out to have your name plastered across the front of your car. A relative was recently talking to a neighbour who was the proud new owner of a top-of-the-range BMW. She remarked that she was rather surprised that it sported a common-or-garden number plate, without reference to his christian name or initials. "Delia (not her real name)", he said, "when I take my wife shopping in Sainsburys, I think I can find my way back to the car without having to be reminded which one is mine!"

H.Wilson Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Newly arrived Herefordian Richard Hammond? He is NOT a Herefordian, he was born in Solihull and he has lived near Ross on Wye since 2011 (6 years) so not really a new arrival. If you have the money I guess your entitled to spoil yourself.
