I've got your number

Look, it is really annoying being caught on the back foot. Almost as anger making as the cycling liberation front.
Or meeting Harriet Harman on a shopping trip, which a colleague of mine did this week in Skelmersdale, Lancs.

What? Oh, fillet steak and, no honest, a ham shank.
Right out of left field came the question: "Hey Steve, what's the next new registration sequence."
Do you know, they had me there for a minute.
So if you are interested it is 10 then 60, then 11 and 61 and so on and so forth.
Begging the question, why did we start in the middle of a sequence with a five. No, no, don't send me any suggestions, I am about as interested as I would be in Peter Andre's underwear preferences.
However, I will say I have long thought the whole shooting match pretty crackers.
How about a one off fee to adopt the number plate of your choice, one which stays with you throughout your lifetime.
The money could be spent on diverting cycle ways to places of special scientific interest.
Quicksands and the like.
