That's being unfair to pram owners.He has been a t

Each to their own - but I'd rather eat my own hair.
Much fun on this thread, and sounds like a good outcome. Two points re the wrong stroke measurements from your digital calipers:
First, there's a yellow ZERO button. Close the calipers right up and press that to zero the reading!
And second, there's a conventional ruler scale. You can sanity check the digital readout by looking at that. (The stroke height measurement photo looks like it's reading over 80 on the normal scale....)
Personally I like the number and it's history, but not a fan of the small plate for it. Each to their own, otherwise it'd be boring here.

I would like to hear the response from the officer who issued the ticket once the OP has received a reply to his email.
As for those moaning about small number plates, my take on it is this:
Number plates are hideously ugly pieces of garish plastic that we are forced to screw to the exterior of our cars, ruining the looks of the vehicle, especially at the front.
It is for this reason that I usually install either cut down, or smaller than legal plates, because the smaller the size of the ugly plastic adornment the better.
I know it is illegal, yet I simply do not care, I will happily pay the fine if I ever recieve one.
