So, ................. there are no personalized auto licence plates in the 
UK but there are personalized aeroplane registrations! Now, there, I have 
learned something new today. I had no idea that one could order personalized 
aeroplates in the UK! I'm surprised that the governing socialists have not 
deprived the upper classes of this mark of privilege!

Mind you the owner's registered address suggests that he can well afford the 
luxury. Looks to be as selective as Salisbury Close or Ramsay Garden :-)

How about G-nOMe ? OM being the genetic material of this list.
