minor things that make you fume

[bignev23]

So long as it's not the infamous pic of Ed Miliband. I usually have to resort to using my molars (makes me look like a savage) or turning the sandwich lengthways and hoping the ham will rip. Pathetic really.

Haha

On the Private plates I have to agree. We have just started a new lad with us who has M5 ULB as his reg on his car. He's an electrician its supposed to spell BULB. Guess what... he's a total arse.

My Sister in Law (called Jo) is married to a chap Colin. He persuaded her to fork out £500 (in lieu of future Christmas & birthday presents, yeah right) for 'CO11 NJO'. Had the letters split and a black screw stud to force it to spell 'COLIN JO'. Barely a week later, gets pulled by the cops, £50 fine. So now it says CO11 NJO.

£500.

EFC or similar isn't so bad, but I just don't really understand why folk would fork out their hard-earned to get a certain set of letters on the reg plate of their car. Why not just get a car sticker from the EFC shop and save a fortune?

A couple of years ago, I saw a bright red Rolls Royce up in Shoreditch, sporting a reg plate '1'. Apparently it cost £7m.

No. 1 chump, mate. Everyone knows 7 is the best number.

Fair point, i saved a fortune, my plate came from my grandad via my uncle who was a car tradesman, you wouldnt believe considering how many people are skint, have come over to me offering £1000+ for the plate. One guy paid £850 for a EFC plate like GF06 EFC, mine owuld be considered better having less numbers and letters before or after the EFC part. Your right it can be madness.

I used to have H10 EFC.

Any idea how the *10 EFC plates come about and when ?

I bought it about 1996-1997-ish and sold it in late 1999 if that helps. I think it was down to the DofT/DVLA making more numbers available. Elite Registrations or whoever I used didn't own the plate no. as such but acted as agents in securing it. I then had to spend another lump of cash with the DofT getting the new no. registered on the car and when I came to sell the EFC plate I had to spend money again to re-register the original number back on the car. What a pain that was. In the meantime, the value of the EFC plate had doubled (from £250 to £500 I think) so over the 2-3 years I had it I broke even with the extra registration costs included.

My commute.

At 6am it takes 40 minutes. At 5pm it takes 1 hour 40. I hate London drivers so, so much.

How are things on your site la?

All i know about is a retention fee to keep the plate when it is not being assigned to a car. I cannot remember if there was a transfer fee for moving it from my focus to Mercedes, it just gives the car a certain added touch, but yeah i still agree with people who have the likes of Badboy or something ridiculous on their car.

I hate my commute and it only takes me 40 minutes. Everywhere down there is awful.

Interview went really well, in lovely Covent Garden.

Covent Garden is indeed lovely. We'll have to get a pint some time mate. Perhaps tie it in with an Everton game at a pub?

It's possibly the muddiest place on earth and at least half of the subbies are utterly terrible.

I spend most of my day ringing people and telling them to do things they said they'd already done, and then sending s**tty emails to their contracts managers!

You're in construction aren't you mate?
