Strange Number Plate

[kooperkidd]

There's a car which I seem to have a continuous war with, they quite often pull out on me and generally drive like the stupid old fool that they look like.
Anyway their number plate is of the form: 123 X 456 (numbers obv. changed, but not the 'X').

What could this be? The car is on British-style plates and has no country indicators on it.

sounds like diplomatic plates. If the bugger hits you he can't be prosecuted either !!!

I was on a bloody course (a good one I might ad).

I missed you 2 Mrs F. Hey you've racked up another 200+ posts since I've been away (all of 5 days )

It's a diplomatic plate. The number before the X tells you which embassy it belongs to, the number after which car within the embassy. If it's a D in the middle instead of the X it is the ambassador's car rather than just another member of the embassy staff.

One day, Mrs F, you too will find that as a Moderator, you are faced with conflicting loyalties...

Bisexual wifey talk or upstanding PH moderating? Sorry Ted - there's really no contest..

I just wanted to draw it to a close before anyone ruined the moment

According to this site, it's

"US forces in the UK or UK American Exchange"

I thought they'd all been posted to the Gulf!

I hope that '123' isn't the Iraqi/Taliban/etc Embassy.

Nice house though, looks like a good skive this embassy lark.

Cue Lethal Weapon x (insert number) with Pasty Kensit and all the South African dudes, and the ring leader says (in a bad S African accent) "Diplomatic Immunity" and promptly gets shot in the head by Glover!
