    It can cost thousands for a personalised number plate.

    Just a thought, but changing your name by deed poll cost only £45. I know which is the better plan.

    I've got one, it was my personal choice to buy it.
    I like it.
    I'm not at all bothered if other people choose not to have them.

    I've had a personal plate for over 15 years and I am quite happy to be honest.

    Same here - except I chose it but someone else bought it for me as a present

    I love it.

    And the plate has nothing to do with my name

    Pretentious nonsense IMHO. Waste of money.

    Other opinions are available.
