Rather odd behavior - writing down numberplates
Discussion
Driving back from KFC in Newton Abbot last night, some man wearing a darkish flourescent jacket wondering round writing down car numberplates!
Stopped and asked him what he was doing, he said "nothing. just carry on".
DEFINATLY was NOT plod.
Called the local police non-urgent number and reported it.
Dunno what the f**k he was doing! Was not a traffic warden either.

nah its all roads, no car park.
maybe it was a weirdo that gets off on numberplate numbers
The motoring equivalent of a train spotter but collects rare number plates?
You may laugh - I went to school with a chap who used to do exactly this. Amazingly he also had a photographic memory - if you gave him the number of a local car he would tell you the make, model and colour. He was almost never wrong. I understand he went on to become a Conservative PPC!

That's nothing, it was on the tv there was a group of electricity pylon spotters in the uk with 500 members!!!
They spent their time tramping through muddy fields all over the country noting down the numbers on the side of the pylons....
When interviewed, the spokesman said "Well, it's suprising how many different types of pylons there are, tall ones, short ones, thin ones, fat ones".....
Each to his (or her) own I suppose
Our regular Sunday morning off road bike route takes us over a little bridge crossing the new high speed rail line (also on the edge of some woods that appeared in the Daily Mail's "doging" article but thats another story) anyway last Sunday the bridge was crammed with anoraks and tripods all trying to get a picture and a number off the Eurostar ! I couldn't believe it I thought Trainspotters were just an item of fun nowdays, not that anyone actually did it.
c0ngestion charge goons regularly seen in our middlesex villages doing this
they have hand held ticket machines and groups of 10-20 + roam the streets checking registration numbers against cars being sought not funding red ken's farsical scheme .
then a truck comes along and gives your car that special yellow boot
