Haven't seen an A reg for years. The first to have a letter suffix. 1963?

63 was indeed, I believe it started on Jan 1st, then after a few years it moved to another month, short of googling, August rings a bell.

Initially it wasn't mandatory to use the system.

1967, E reg ran from Jan to August.

This will be a fairly recent so-called 'age related' re-registration. Relatively few authorities began using A suffixes when they were introduced in 1963. Their use was compulsory from 1965.

Just witnessed someone in a Smart car (2 seater) drive into an Aldi space next to the disabled bay with the thick white border to give disabled people more space, half her right side was in the white border area ie much less space for a disabled passenger to exit. Also, she stopped by driving in quite quickly and just bumping her wheels off the curb. I'm surprised her car doesn't have massive dents in it with the lack of care she demonstrated.

No photo, as I was driving in a queue out of the car park at the time.

In those situations the temptation to simply walk over the top of the car is almost overwhelming.

So are you saying you dont think this is the original registration plate? If so why not.

Your right, not many used the system when it first came out, no question about that.

Any chance it's rolled there due to having the handbrake left off?

Clearly from the marks on the paint it was driven forwards into the 'space' so there must have been empty tarmac they drove over to get to where it's ended up.

No not unless it rolled up hill! That 'space' is on a slight incline, /\ they just had a bad day by the looks of things! Speaking of which, this is outside my apartment today...

The first appearance of KVG (Norwich) with a suffix letter was in March 1969, as KVG...G.

The car pictured was originally registered 399 COW on 16 November 1962.

Interesting, I did wonder why 1962 came up on the DVLA data base, maybe his misses didn't like be seen with COW on the plate . Joking but thank you for info.

Don't worry. Its not you that is a few sandwiches short. .

He is that guy who was very well known for putting up consecutive posts on the knob thread about other people pulling out/cutting him up at junctions and roundabout's.. and then on another thread lectured people contributors about their unnecessary over use of indicators.

Ergo... You are supposed to guess what he is thinking.

Apologies, it has taken me a while to see this.... then some more time to figure out what you were saying.
I'm well known am I? Fame at last, this is such a surprise. But you say I "was famous", I'm not any more? Fame is such a cruel mistress.

Is there a rule against consecutive posts? I find that easier (clearer) when quoting one person in a thread before making my own reply but if I'm doing it wrong please do let me know.

"overuse of indicators", I don't remember posting anything about that, can you post a link?

Why are you supposed to guess what I'm thinking? Not sure what you mean by that.

PS no apostrophe needed in roundabouts. You didn't put one in junctions which is something that always confuses me: people who put apostrophes in some plurals but not others, what is their (self made) rule on this. Fascinating stuff.

Actually, I think we all cringe every time you or Yellowjack put up one of your stories.

Personally I could not help but park behind this and block it in, its like when people park over 2 spaces so nobody can park next to them. Im sorry but this is like a magnet to me and you position it still just in your bay and they can't open the drivers door, stand back and watch the fun unfold

"I watched him park then advised him he was in a motorcycle bay. He said "I know". When I explained how frustrating it is for motorcyclists he just shrugged his shoulders. He was also challenged by another lady and again ignored our protests. He started to walk off when I asked him if he just intended leaving it there. He replied that he was.
Can you guess what I then called him?
If you know him let him know if I see him again on my bike I so have another conversation with him and will not be so polite." - Sid Gee

Curious as to what the sign on the right is pointing to? Can't quite tell as it's been cut off in the photo

Triple arrogant lazy w**kers

In the disabled bay - tick
Blocking the junction - tick
Totally out of the bays - tick
