    He means P registration Lola. :))))
    
    This year the license plates beging with the letter "P" though
    I don't know why they skipped "O".
    
    I would never skip the big "O" :)))

They've skipped loads of letters in the past.  Not sure why.

U X Z - for starters...  Can't think of any recent ones for some
reason, G ?


H  :o)
424.4RDGENG::MORRELLNow, the parties over.... and I'm so tired...Fri Aug 02 1996 13:176
    They skip the letters if they look too much like numbers ( e.g O looks
    like 0 from a distance ) or if they are hard to distinguish.
    
    Cheers,

424.7learn something all the time!POOKY::OROURKEFri Aug 02 1996 17:5810
    
    Lola,
    
    One thing I was surprised to learn is that over in England, the license
    plate GOES WITH the CAR.  This is different than in the US where the
    license plate usually goes WITH THE PERSON.   I mean what would we
    Americans do if we couldn't take our vanity plates with us from car to
    car??? :^)

That's interesting /jen.  I hope they're better with their records than our DMV
is, or alot of people could be getting tickets for offenses they didn't commit!!

424.9Honda Rebel 125 customVYGER::BONEMI am the seed!Sat Aug 03 1996 00:3614
    Hi Lola,
    
    I hope I dont go off the wall 8-)). Its a nice new shiny Motorbike
    and I am terrified in case I even scratch it at this stage!.
    
    Brm Brmm Brrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    
    P686 JSD is the registration.
    
    I guess why the skipped the "O" is because its doesn't sound as good
    as a "P" *GRIN*.
    
    
    Marti.......Zooooooooooooooooom

Don't know 'bout you, but I'd prefer an "O" to a "p".
