Phil ;
   Could you explain this British cultural quirk of wanting the newest
registration plates ? I was born and raised in Britain but left before
my interest or age got to motors. Sitting from this chair in Canada
it looks like strictly a bragging right or oneupmanship. 
To quote my brother "Not very British, I'd say ..."  ;)
