Not registration numbers, but when I used to do a long daily commute I was often amused by what people had scrawled in the dirt on the back of vans and lorrys mainly white transit vans.
My favourites:
How am I driving - call 999
No hand signals I'm eating a pasty
Also available in white
On the subject of grimy vans, thought this was an inspired piece of signwriting:

Hi, I was employed at Norton Barrow metals scrap yard 1977 - 1981. I have posted a few pictures from my time there on flickr. Hope they are of interest.
Can you give some directions? Tried a few searches on Flickr but couldn’t find this picture or similar.
Thanks!

I like your recessed display cabinet masquerading as a framed picture! (Bit late but only just caught up with thread).

Just received my order - another evocative set of images with most informative captions.
Top banana.

Actually, we have the same clock, and it’s going back on Monday!
It seems that there is also a UK transmission...but when I left the clock to set itself, the time was way out....
On setting the correct time manually, the clock proceeded to loose time quite rapidly.
So, pretty useless as a time piece....
Does it go forwards on the other days?
It could just be a faulty 7-day timer module......

They should really be fed grub screws at that age - nuts only when they are older.

There was a little girl who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was bad she was very very good,
but when she was good she was horrid.

In 1977 I visited Bowes station which was more or less intact though uninhabitable. Most of the wood was rotten from 15 years exposure to the ferocious Stainmore elements but inside the waiting room a poster survived from the last day.
Bowes Station 28.2.77 by A1 Northeastern, on Flickr
I would pass by on the A66 twice a year from the late 70s until around maybe ten years ago - would always give it a glance, it was fascinating to observe the time-lapse 'demolition by natural forces'.
The most recent image I can find is from 2015 when there was not a great deal still standing - wonder what it looks like now......

What is it about the Guild that puts you off?
What does it do that you don’t like?
What doesn’t it do that it should do?
If you were to consider joining an association of 1:43.5 / 1:48 modellers, what would it have to provide to make it worthwhile?
Is there an alternative format to the existing Guild organisation that might make for compelling membership?
Would you prefer an association that is more specific / specialist than anything 0 Gauge ?

I might swap my set for a showroom condition low mileage white 1990s Hilux pickup.
On second thoughts - no chance!

Yeah, you can say that again.

Steve - the info you really need is that one of Colin’s regular announcements in the club having rang the bell was “The meat pies have come”.
Which they had on this thread (again).

Beavers do that.
Nor wood that is - I've never known a beaver to complain.
