I saw a lorry delivering at Victoria yesterday to the Cornish Pasty
Co. The lorry reg began GN09. Now, I don't really care, because I
really like those pasties, but is GN a west country plate?

G's the mnemonic for Garden of England. Kent, Sussex, Hants.

Doesn't mean the wagon's not based in the West Country, though. It's just
a rough area that the dealer who originally supplied it were located,
based on which DVLA local office they use.

Not quite.

G is Kent and Sussex (approximately) issued by the Maidstone and Brighton

All Hants area registrations start H, from the Portsmouth area office.

And as this is utl some of the first "hopper" buses that LT bought ran
around with NI numbers because that is where they came from (you can tell
because they included the letter I which GB numbers don't allow)

They have a distribution centre near Aylesbury - but I guess that
