Routemaster registrations
In message , at 17:38:39 on Sun, 9
Aug 2009, Ivor Jones remarked: Personally, I've never understood why plates in the UK have to show the year of issue anyway. It was a way of supporting the car industry, by making it obvious how old people's cars were, so they felt more obliged to buy a new one. And they chose August to change because that's otherwise the quietest month of the year for sales. In the USA the car makers have a similar scheme, which they implement by making visible annual changes to the look of the car. -- Roland Perry |
