they were saying :

In Mile End tonight I watched with amazement at a what can only be
described as a genuine american-style stretched SUV.

I had the joy of watching a stre-e-e-e-e-e-e-etched Hummer H2 dealing with
Hemel's magic roundabout yesterday morning. Hilarious.

Funny thing was, the numberplates were'nt in any script I

I assume it's exempt from the congestion charge in that case.

I think that just leaves Greek, Korean and Cambodian. And possibly
Nepalese, though I'm not sure about that one.

Which of those does Hebrew script fall under, out of interest ?

I think it falls under the group not used for numberplates (which
includes several Indian scripts), BICBW.

You are right. Hebrew script is not used on numberplates. Our plates here
are NN-NNN-NN (except for some old ones that are NNN-NNN or NN-NNN) where
the final group of 2 digits is now an importer suffix.
The SUV was probably a Federation Diplomatic vehicle from the Klingon
Embassy.

Aha, a cunning move on the reverse diagonal. Well done.

Plenty of speed cameras arround, and they're just as good

How exactly is a speed camera going to arrest someone for unreadable number
plates?

Same way that they arrest people for dangerous driving. You dont need
traffic police in this day and age, just a few cameras and a call centre
in Coventry.

Exactly. They can't.

I saw what I thought was a stretch SUV parked on the King's Road one
evening sometime last year. A closer inspection revealed that it was
actually two, the front end of one connected by a wrap around shell, of
the same colour and painted to look like a stretch vehicle, to the rear
end of the other. I think it was a promotional stunt for either a
restaurant or club opening.

Bendy-SUV?
