I wonder if parents drop off and pick up the kids at school in it.

I usually deem anyone with a personal plate a complete ****er, yeah we don't care that your name is duncan or that you like m3's.
But man, thats epic.

His name's probably Peter Doe and he's driving around perfectly chuffed with his purchase
A male? In a Nissan Micra?
My mental image was an old man with big glasses, a moustache and excess nasal hair.
Nice generalisation there! I have a private plate which came with my car and I didn't see the point in paying to change it back. It's nice to know that if you saw me out in my car that you'd immediately brand me a ****er!

Why lie, I do deem people with private plates complete ****ers?
I wouldn't drive around with a plate on my car that said "M3 DUNC" or something. It shows how boring a person is, I want my number plates to be completely ignored, to blend in. A personal plate is like saying "I find number plates interesting" or "I want you to know I'm called duncan and I like M3s because I'm a boring ****er DURP DURP DURP"
You couldnt have a number plate that is set up as M3 DUNC
You think a 79mm x 50mm slab of plastic painted bright yellow is going to blend in? You may aswell make the disgusting British reg plate slightly interesting.

Right I get it, you're a troll. Either that or you failed to see the point I was trying to make.

Yes, but the point I'm trying to make is how can I differentiate about the genuine personal plate boring banker type and the ones who have been burdened with them? See where I'm coming from, I'm guessing the people burdened with one count for less than 1% of the personal plate lot.
I see one and I'm instantly going to deem them a salad talker (the sort of person who talks about salad or something equally boring
for hours because he's a ****er)
Best way to make a number plate blend in is to get a german style one, pressed steel, white. Blends in so much better than yellow plastic. Which is what I've done, yellow ones seem to stick out way more.

So you've broken the law instead to blend in which would actually mean you're standing out a lot more as you look like someone from the dub brigade?

German number plates stand out like a sore thumb, I instantly deem them a idiot that cares about something as mundane as what my numberplate looks like.

Both my parents have personal plates, because they want it.
They're not making any statement, just simply their initials, yet how dare you brand people as boring.
Surely you yourself who admits to wanting to blend in, and reject your own individuality is the boring one, not the one who wishes to label their own car?
How is this any different to choosing what clothes to wear? - its another form of presenting yourself.
I think you seriously need to think - you have every right not to want a personal plate yourself, and to have an opinion, but to deem people that have them as "boring ****ers" just makes you seem ridiculous making such sweeping statements.
