It's a force of habit for me to look at reg' plates of British cars in films and TV from the '60s, '70s and '80s etc, the year / changeover system we have is somehow etched into the old grey cells. E suffix Mk1 Mini in The Saint...? Must be a Jan 1st to July 31st job.... J suffix Rover in The Persuaders...? Must be a 1st August '70 to July 31st 1971 job. Probably an age thing, I'm 54 and always remember the fuss and excitement as a nipper over relatives getting their new plate on 1st August.
A few years back there was a TV series which was filmed in a local garage, something to do with rallying and women, a drama as opposed to a documentary. The cars shown in the series all had special plates made up which were a couple of years in the future, so there could be mistakes when you look at the reg being on the wrong model car.

I think there was a news item recently saying registrations were down in the last few months, I wonder if that's due to Brexit or because people don't want 69 on the bonnet and will wait for March?
I have never cared about the plate at all, but I waited two weeks to get my new car specifically because I wanted to have 69 in the numberplate 
As Nick Faldo once said to the golf commentator Peter Allinson, after a particularly good round of golf, "as you well know Peter, any day that starts with a 69 is a good day". Allinson was in uncontrollable laughter for a good five minutes

Someone elses future mrs, dont want to stereo type but young and blonde.
Walking a friends bull dog male puppy, just 12 weeks old, everyone he meets is his new best friend and he rolls on his back for a fuss,
One young lady stopped and stroked his chest, she said:
'He must be keeping his options open, he has nipples and a willy'
'A bit like men then'
Oh, I suppose so'

My younger son came over to pick his kids up, after they’d stayed at our place while # 2 son took his wife out one night this week.
BBC news was on TV, and the newsreader said something about X days until we quit the EU.
My wife said, “Does that mean that we’ll get xxxx back?, I’d better stock up on rum babas”
xxxx is my elder son, who’s lived in Germany for circa 30 years, my wife is not the mother of either of my sons.
Younger son said, “Doubt it Nick, remember that video of him the day that he finally got German citizenship?, he was like a kid who’d got his first bike at Christmas.”

I quite enjoy this thread, but that one gets a "woosh" from me cause I've no idea how it fits on the thread ?My younger son came over to pick his kids up, after they’d stayed at our place while # 2 son took his wife out one night this week.

I did say that it probably wouldn’t be seen as a classic blooper, sorry.
