There are indeed personalized number plates in the UK - have been for

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.
