Pistonheads - push-chairs matter.

One I've often spotted, but, using a set of numberplates as a house name/number sign, instead of a proper sign or plaque.

Good one. I've seen this a few times at places that look a bit dodgy

Pub in Whitby (the Elsinore) used to have a number plate bearing the pub's name proudly displayed behind the bar.

Was in there a few years back and was chatting about this to the landlord: he was winding my mate's missus right up… along the lines of "Cah, you go down to Halfords to get a set of plates made up, and they ask you for your V5. What sort of pub has a bloody logbook?"

She looked a bit, confused… bless 'er.

But I digress.

I see the house number plate and I raise you: house number crudely painted next to the front door using a half inch emulsion brush.

Bonus council points to be awarded if it has been done with an aerosol used for 'tagging' and the paint has run/dripped down the wall.

(I appreciate that this may have already been thrown into the pot, but then again, what hasn't been included in this thread?)

We had one of these at the bottom of our farm track (told you I was council). It got cracked a couple of years ago so I tried to get another one made up and could't because of the numberplate regulations. Had to make one up with a bit of plywood and a spraycan

Mater and Pater have this outside their house - it's down a non-lit country road, with the driveway accesses almost buried within the hedge/trees at the front of the house. They've screwed a number plate with a simple 888 (I don't know why 888) on it at the bottom of each of the gate piers so visitors can see where the driveway is.

Next door has 2 reflective red triangles bolted to the face of their front wall, the house past them has painted the lower half of the telegraph pole outside white.

Makes life a lot easier for visitors, and possibly saved my mum's life when she had a heart attack - dad told the 999 guys about it and it saved a lot of faffing around with them trying to look for the house name!

how do you get numberplates reading your house name if not actual car reg?

Google show plates, or Ebay

[Shakermaker]

Or, go to a place that makes numberplates?

My local motor factors has their shopfront covered in different numberplates which tell you what they can sell you. Slightly hypocritical if they don't make you up a set that says "The Lodge" or similar.

but, of course, council.

Sometimes this thread really does have laugh-out-loud moments..

..If it had a theme tune it would be Pulp 'Common People'.

Our local factor has a computer controlled machine, if you don't put in the reference number from the v5 that correctly matches the registration number, it won't make the plate.

Local caravan place; buy a blank plate and black sticky numbers and DIY.

Ebay, show plates.

Carl Frampton. Plus his fans. Plus most other boxers (that includes you Eubank! - Lord of the Manor of Brighton - twunt!) In fact just about anyone connected with boxing, which in its defence is the least council of all such sports.

Whilst we're on it - buying a title. Extreme council.
