PeteMorris Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, me too. Like Mr Sugar announces his arrival with AMS 1. Whether you think that's a good thing or not, everyone knows it's him when he passes. But having a tenuous connection to someone's name that is only possible to be worked out if you know the person or have to squint and cover one eye is just sad. It's like announcing to the world that you want to be noticed but never quite made it. The queen doesn't bother at all!.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he got out of the car, looked me in the face and said "you're fired"? then maybe. If you're spending a lot on something with no intrinsic value with the sole purpose of wanting, more likely needing to be recognized, or spending a lot on someone else for them to be recognized (lots of psychological stuff going on in there with that one) probably points towards a narcissistic personality.

beefface Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's a bit like those big daft 4 wheel drive vehicles that say 'Warrior', 'Animal' or 'Barbarian' etc on the side. It just smacks of masculine insecurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJO-1403 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I got one as a present from my parents, picked it myself. Birth year & Initials. Its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I got one as a present from my parents, picked it myself. Birth year & Initials. Its great. I don't doubt you like it....But tell me....is it recognisable as being a 'personal' plate?....or do people ask you the significance (people who may not know your initials I mean, or your birth date)....Or is it a sort of reminder thing that prompts you to remember your gift from mum and dad?...I'm just curious.

willman Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe... ... but all of those things have a practical use. Just what exactly is the practical use of a personalised plate? The same as a normal plate it identifies my car,how practical can it get. No one needs to get a bigger tv or a bigger shinier car,they get because they want them. Same with number plates. ---------- Post added 17-09-2014 at 15:04 ---------- I have seen some on lorries or vans, which are obviously a corporate thing...I 'get' that... Why does a liveried vehicle need a personalised plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
