I know there's a thread for silly number plates but I really think this little collection required a thread all of their own - you'll see why!

I live in Sevenoaks (Kent). It's a lovely old market town with fantastic travel links and a good family type vibe. Back in the day it was quite a mixed community - some old money and mainly "normal" people. However, over the last 25 years or so the excellent proximity to London (28mins by train) combined with a huge number of private schools it has seen an influx of young families moving out of London - think trendy urban couple living in Balham, Clapham, Wandsworth etc have kids and want to move to "the country". So, Sevenoaks has become a haven for yummy mummies (Mummy to India and George etc) and hubbies who commute and pick up some Whispering Angel from Waitrose on the way home. Their lives made complete by adding a Cockapoo.

It's become a blend of the old types in their mustard or red corduroys driving beat up old volvos or the new trendies in their bling Audis and Range Rovers and a worrying trend has set in - the need to express your pride in (brag about) where you live through your number plate. Yes, the 7 OAX number plate has become highly treasured and I've been trying to capture them while I'm out - there are a lot. Here are four for your delectation. Sad or hilarious??

The last one's a cracker and definitely the mustard chords variety smile

I literally couldn’t care less about other people’s number plates. I wouldn’t have even noticed the golf was a private plate.

Looks like BO57OAX is available if you want everyone to know you are the bos of Severn oaks.

Buy it and put it on an angry chav spec BMW and you'll get free Monster Energy drinks at every McDonald's in Kent. Fact.

I can understand having your initial, or having a BO55 numberplate if you're a small time drug dealer or human trafficker.

But why would you want a numberplate for being where you live?

The only remarkable place about seven oaks is it's proximity to Brands Hatch.

My nan lives in Esher in Surrey, it's quite a nice area but somewhat pretentious.

A 911 with E5HER on the number plate capped it off.
