There is a miserable, bitter and tormentative side to my personality that has been urging me to walk around Tesco carpark with a wet-wipe, cleaning all those dirty reg plates that some folks have spent weeks nurturing so that they can avoid fines and charges.

Why not just add some dirt to your own? There are no points for the offence, assuming they can find you...
|
|
Since reflective number plates came in I've always kept my plates clean, on the basis that it might help someone see me so they don't run into me - am I wasting my time?

Well, just the rear one, then.. :-)

They need to get very dirty indeed to not be seen by cameras. I find an old Aldi electric paint sprayer with a muddy water in drys to just the right looking "not been done by hand" look.

I got stopped by the Police yesterday for a dirty plate - they said it wasn't clean enough, even tho' I'd only cleaned it last week!!
I cleaned it there and then for them.
Thats the problem with a Golf...

Roomster's bad for it. I can hardly ever remember having to specifically clean a rear number plate until I got this car.

'Having to', PU? Who exactly was applying the moral pressure?
The Kamm tail, or flat apple as the vulgar call it, was specifically designed to prevent dozy fuzz from being able to identify you as you fled laughing at 10mph more than their cruiser's flat-out maximum.
How could you betray us in this way? I had always seen you as a rational sort of hooligan.
Unlike that Dave fellow from Poland. A right old woman that one. I used to know a famous gigolo and hooligan who was just the same. He came round to visit once and stopped the clock by adjusting its angle on the wall because he thought it wasn't vertical. It wasn't, but its works were, until he straightened it.
BBD: prove you aren't an old woman.
vulgar word replaced with a random one starting with the same letter.

My own moral pressure. I hate dirty plates.

"BBD: prove you aren't an old woman"
Difficult, but I'll give it a go and try to keep it motoring related.
Went to Budapest a few years ago with two mates and picked up three working ladies in a "club". Decided to go back to our hotel, so we paid them outside (about 60 quid each). We three lads got in the first taxi to lead the way, they got in the second taxi. Got back to the hotel and waited... and waited... and waited. They never turned up did they. Took our money and ran.
Oh the glory days.

I once spotted a serious superbike, the sort that maniacs ride at 150mph plus on the by-pass, that was immaculately clean all over except the number plate at the back, that had thick mud deliberately smeared over it, completely obscuring the plate.

you used to be able to buy spray on mud in a can , i think it was targeted at pretentious 4x4 owners!

it was in the Guardian so it must be true... no mention of the company name however...

Google finds the newspaper item but the web site of the product has been zapped.

( there is some text re the site being zapped - most odd)
