Nowt as queer as folk..............

[Notshortnottall]

Was driving home before on a dual carriageway when a car pulled up behind me and started flashing it's lights. Wondering what I'd done I pulled over to the left lane and proceeded to the traffic lights where he pulled up next to me and lowered his window. I looked right and duly obliged with my window to be met with a grinning idiot in his 40's exclaiming:

"Your number plate is one letter different to mine!"

Not really knowing how to respond, I smirked as the lights changed and off he went, giving me a thumbs up before departure.

Starry bra and all that bks but was interested to hear people's tales of when someone has left them struggling for words (in a non-life / death situation obviously) - as I'm still struggling to think of a witty retort should I ever meet this chap again!

I think I'd be lost for words too.

[Clinton Baptiste]

That's a pretty funny story

[welshjohn]

Should of said "mines one letter different from yours as well"

[J4CKO]

Yep, that's funny, at least he was happy

[Otter Smacker]

Should of done this expression:

I was genuinely baffled as to what sort of response he thought he'd elicit?!?! Did he want a high-fiving approval of his statement? Or just an acknowledgement that what he was saying was, indeed true.

Got to be one of the more random events to happen in my life.

Youve pulled

Probably one of the best reasons I can think of for buying a group of personal plates, and only using the middle one.

He's probably on here!

I used to own X751KUS, a VW Golf.
X571KUS, a VW Bora was owned by a neighbour.

We never spoke about our similar number plates, feel like I've missed out

[Huntsman]

I'm the sort of bloke that gets reffered to on PH as a grinning idiot in his 40's.

Not even a "Nice car, but your numberplate's sh!t..!"

[coiner]

Drunk? Stoned?

[MrBrightSi]

The man was probably on the way home from a lady friend and felt the worlds weight was off his shoulders. I've never felt obligated to share my joy with others though, never seen a number plate similar, my life feels empty now.

You should have swapped them over one night and gone for a blast through some speed cameras.

When I had my Mk1 Focus RS (RF53 VPY), I saw another blue Focus (not an RS, mind) with the number plate RF52 VPY. It did make me double take but I didn't stop and have a chat about it.

Ha ha brilliant, bless him !
