Like buses you wait months for press releases about number plates then swarms of them turn up at once.
DVLA is putting its 57 plates, millions of them, up for viewing before next month's release date.
This year they have a theme. Beans. Well, no, not beans exactly but beanz. As in Heinz. And kilohertz but not spatula. I would like to see a number plate that spells spatula.
Using every ounce of the imagination it takes to turn your driving licence application around in five weeks, the agency suggests that lovers of ketchup would pay pounds Stirling for SA57 UCE while those keen on baked Boston beans can bid for BE57 ANZ. Wow, imagine the social benefits of a mobile warning that your favourite dietary item is so high in fibre.
Apparently the most desirable plate would be coveted by H. J. Heinz himself - HJ57 HNZ. The trouble is he's dead.
Still, plenty for everyone. Please feel free to search dvlaregistrations.co.uk for anything remotely like ravioli, spaghetti, sponge pudding or my all-time favourite salad cream.
This is plainly mad. Like carrot cake. Carrots? In a cake?
