I do not see the point in personalised number plates. I have mentioned them before, as they tend to adorn cars that could really have done with the few hundred pounds they cost, being spent elsewhere, like on clothes, personal hygiene products, or a frontal lobotomy.
I do understand however that for those people intent on having a personalised plate, it is difficult to make the correct choice. You have to consider your name, your personality, readability, and maybe even a secret hidden message. All in seven characters or fewer.
This is difficult,
Sometimes people will succeed in meeting one of the above criteria, and it will be clear to all concerned what their name is, or the type of person they are (something subtle like W8nk3r).
Despite all of this, I found myself in such awe of the owner of the registration plate below that I had to take a photo of it with my phone so that I could share it with you all.
They have managed to not only ensure everyone is clear about their sexuality (a bonus if they use the Jeep for some off-road dogging etc.) but they have also managed to confirm their favourite sexual position, which will obviously save time in the dogging parks, where I hear brevity is key. Best of all, they have let prospective partners know that they are still learning, so we should not expect too much from any tawdry encounter we might have with them.
If only all people put this much thought into it, I might have to reconsider my general position on the owners of such needlessly ostentacious accessories.

And you just happened to be following this person, yeah?
I would love to have that number plate. And I’m not gay. Or a learner – although one can always do with a little further practice, just to keep one’s hand in.
Cliff – This is what us investigative reporters do. Donal Macintyre got a Chelsea tattoo, I followed a car to a park to watch some dogging. Even though I definitely didn’t want to do it, and anyone who says different is lying.
Z – Maybe you could swap the ‘L’ for a green ‘P’? And if you are keeping your hand in you are probably doing it incorrectly.
I don’t wish to be pedantic here but you do know it is against the law to use a hand held mobile whilst driving and I do not believe that an exception is made for bloggers?
Since that car doesn’t look 35 years old it must take a certain amount of nerve and a thick skin to go out and buy a plate like that, Coming out of the closet is one thing shouting it out from the rooftops is another, I suspect the owner must get a certain amount of abuse over it.
Keef – I have chopped the photo so you cannot see the lights on the left which are turning from red to green. I was stationary at the time of the photo, whilst the gay learner was away quite quickly.
I am a very good driver.
My mind is boggling as to what the L could stand for. I know that gay people have all sorts of coded coloured handkerchiefs which mean different things (er, someone told me this – though where you buy a brown handkerchief from I do not know). But all I could think was that L stood for left – they liked to be on the left. But there is no “left” in a 69 – rotational symmetry means that each position is effectively identical.
Perhaps one of your gay readers could enlighten me please?
Prior to this I thought vanity plates (‘Merkan term) served the same purpose as bumper stickers – advance warning as to the relative intelligence of the driver involved. It works beautifully by the way as I have avoided three major accidents and a potential incident of proselytizing with intent to wound.
The ‘L’ following the 69 (soixante-neuf) is obviously phonetic; “elle”.
And so, my dear Watson, the driver is quite clearly a Lady. The butch one too, probably, given that she was off so fast once she’d had Angry up the rear.
You have to turn your engine off before using a mobile, I do hope no policemen (Or women) red this blog, your repetitive rantings about anal rape and flase teeth may start to bore after the initial month.
Or do you just get an on the spot fine?
maybe the L was going to be part of L7 denoting that he wasnt adverse to a bit of girl on girl either?
“WANKER” on a numberplate, you say?
