Just been parked outside a house where a wedding party were about to leave in a stretched Chrysler 300C. The front reg plate read "Leona & Gavin". There was no sign of the car's official registration plate in the window or dashboard.

It was on a public highway. Why oh why do they think it's OK to do it?

Signed, Old Curmudgeon.

The 2010s equivalent to Wayne and Tracey.

(if we're being snobs) - Actually it was about the sinkest of sink estates in the town, so you're very close. Still, if they pay the bills. (I am a partner in the bridalwear shop that sold the dress). Cash is cash.

It would be churlish to disrespect da bling if one is set to profit from it.

Yeah, sick innit?

(The car was from ExoticLimos or some such - the chaffeur may well have been a bodybuilder/club bouncer with a pit-bull called Tyson. Class.)

I'm assuming it was white rather than pink.

(Leona and her posse no doubt had the pink one for her hen party.)

whiter than a white thing which had been steeped in bleach for 2 years and then left on a rock in the Galapagos Islands for use as a repository for guano.

You'ld be surprised how often they change their mind before the dress arrives from the makers. Women, don't you just love 'em?

Back in the early to mid 70s I had a customer in my village that was big (at the time) in the pop world with loads of cars and both PM1 and PM2 registration numbers that were swapped around when new cars were brought.
However substance abuse seemed to rear its ugly head and I think the numbers were sold on.
I wonder what sort of money they would fetch now if they were for sale ?
Can anyone on the south coast tell me if a certain superstar has PM1 now ?

Now you're asking for it - all and sundry will be trying to work out the owner's name. Doubt if it' s Paul McCartney.

No it wasn't him at the time, the guy may still have them but I think they were sold on .
To avoid any litigation I wont reveal who it was but a clever use of the internet and a little local knowledge will come up with the owner at that time.
