I've met Jazzi. She's down to earth & friendly & hasn't got a grain of vanity in her body..

To add a bit more to the theory that personal number plates means 'Look at me' I totally disagree.

It's no different to wearing designer clothes, sporting tattoos or dyeing ones hair a stupid colour.

If I saw a number plate with my name somehow incorporated in it I would probably put it on my Christmas request list just for the novelty of having it.

I don't think t's anything to do with being 'fond of themselves' They're both lovely people.

I think it's when you've got too much money & you don't know what to do with it!!
Haha. Good answer.
I have no idea cause I don’t have too much money.

Yes Jazzi is OK. Fairly intelligent and can fly aeroplanes.

Re: Personalised number plates

Thank you Art, Carol, and oh Emjay...I think! . OK? Lol.

I have a nephew who dresses in designer clothes and loves high end cars. I believe his sons share his sartorial tastes. It’s their money...if they can afford it, fine. With my ‘investment’ I have no need to add to it or spend more money, to enjoy, unless there comes a time I need a new car.

Re: Personalised number plates

Why of why do some members think I'm having a personal dig at them about this subject? Is it because they are now able to see that having a personalised number plate with their name on is narcissistic and drawing attention to themselves (which it of course is)?
Or perhaps is it because on this forum there will always be the same people who are on the defensive about the slightest nudge to their egos?
Come on folks, it's called conversation. That's all. No harm meant!

You only come this way once.
Agreed .....

Frankly, I've never been one for buying and wearing clothes with the names of football clubs or pop groups on them but I wouldn't take issue with those who do .....
