I had a personal plate for 15 years or more. Mrs M had one as well. Mine also matched one of my email addresses. But we have just scrapped our two old cars to buy one new motor for us to share.

We decided to let the personal plates die with the cars. Too old now to be stressed about transfers, retentions and extra paperwork.

More than happy with my new motor and the gov issued plate that came with it (which starts CF)
