I have a number plate that would be of interest to someone with the surname Jones and am looking to put an advert in the motoring section of an appropriate Welsh local newspaper.

I am guessing the South Wales News is probably the one to go for?

Any other suggestions as to where I should advertise to capture the local market?

What is the plate?

Although it's a welsh name, if it's potentially worth a lot then something like the Sunday Times might be a better option (if you want to avoid the national companies)

I've heard...though it's only a rumour....that people called Jones have moved outside of Wales for the first time in a millenia. people like Tom Jones tunnelled out and Peter Jones isn't even Welsh, the scoundrel.

Seriously, you're better off advertisng nationally, we're all simple poor serfs in Wales and nobody puts ads in the South Wales Echo anymore (save bloody dog breeders and pensioners selling dull cars apparently).

I am also keen to know how it could legally be "JONES" without being illegally butchered.

Is it 'JON 3S' by any chance?

They let people emigrate out of Wales?!

It isn't anything special (not JON3S!), just JNS, but neat enough to be of interest to the right person.

Cheers!
