You sounded almost sheepish at the end of all that.

I've long had a theory, based on very little other than casual observation, that 'J' is very common in non-word-like vanity plates. I think you've gone some way to disprove that.

About twenty years ago I lived in Hammersmith, just round the corner from Adrian Chiles the broadcaster and celebrity West Brom fan. His car reg at the time was W6 WBA. It's funny what reading a DG article can call to mind. Happy Easter everyone!

M3 M4 and M6 can often be spotted travelling on their eponymous motorways and usually seen on high performance BMWs but obviously not many in your neck of the woods

Your speed of recording beats mine - I used to keep my eyes open for interesting letter/number combinations (not just vanity plates - who would pay 00s or 000s for those?), but haven't been far recently!!! Much better than I spy for a long journey! (or is it just the same?).
If there's still a regional connection for the letters, I'll see if I can 'log' the whole country when out next!

You could have got a better pose from the other sheep in the background.

This is exactly the Easter content that I came here looking for.

There seem to be more comments on the sheep than the number plates. Happy Easter.

That's a damned fine looking sheep.

I like to trying to spot the first of the newest registrations though I haven't seen a 21 yet - but I only remember do it if they jump out at me. Mostly I ignore cars in favour of flora & fauna!
I'm glad to see that the sheep is in a field and not on someone's plate! Happy Easter!

Never seen an M6 on the M6, although I have seen many Audi A3s on the A3.

Sorry for whatever because of the lovely sheep photo.

We should be the ones apologising to the sheep for eating its lambs.

Graham Gooch, at the time the Essex & England captain, had a number plate H15 BAT.
Iād seen it at Chelmsford and saw it even closer when I was almost run down on a zebra crossing in Sheffield by his wife driving the car (a Toyota, which is a palindrome).

Came for the sheep, stayed for the registrations.
Happy Easter.

Worked in the home of a rich guy once who owned an Aston Martin DB7 with the plate DB 7. He said it was the plate was worth more than the car.

It's an Easter miracle, we have seen the hand of the geezer.

I think you may struggle with D4 GZR. So far as I can see, ZR was Wexford in the Republic of Ireland and they didn't issue that pattern. But since you don't have a car ...

As C1 hasn't been spotted, I assume that owners of the humble Citroen C1 aren't the sort of people to have personal plates! Ditto the elderly Citroen C15 van.
I wonder whether the E17 owner was celebrating the postcode or the band.

I am a little surprised at the popularity of 4 and 14, since both are considered unlucky in some cultures.
8 makes more sense in that respect as it is lucky (in the same cultures that dislike the 4/14, I believe).

J and R are now fully complete.
(so seven letters down, fourteen to go)
