What do you prefer on your plate? Nothing at all, GB/Euro, UK/Union flag, identifier no flag, blue strip, no blue strip?

I've noticed on newer plates they have done away with the blue strip on the left side in favour of UK with the union flag. Not sure I like the lack of blue strip.

Why?
It will simply just get on the tits of Brexit Remoaners.
( Yes - I understand that that makes me a small person )

It could only be made better with a picture of Farage on it, holding article 50.

It has the blue strip. And the UK bit is a sticker because the supplier fked up the plates so many times that the rules changed before they managed to supply a correct set, as per my order, of "GB" plates.

The alternative is a UK oval sticker

Yeah, I don't like them either. At least this way it's all on the numberplate.

I got banned for three months back in 2019(?) and the gendarmes spent a long time checking my number plates, my lights, my tyre speed ratings and so on.

Spain, Malta & Cypress you'll need the UK oval sticker even if you have UK number plates.

I like a plain plate. If I could do away with the maker’s details and BS number, I would.

They won't give a st about you driving about with the EU style plates. Whatever else they stop you for is your own business.

Nothing at all is my preference, I never really liked that sort of thing.
