English ones used start with the date they were released in letter form (eg. G837VFB meant the car was bought in 1993). Then the government went through a time when letters signified 6 months or 2 years.

Now they have two letters at the beginning signifying location (e.g. RG43CJU

OK. My memory was of many eons ago - well, 1979. In those days, a letter was tacked on to the end to signify date. As I recall, my vehicle rego was AYF 717T, with the T standing for either '78 or '79.

I can celebrate harder than you can.

By the way, French vehicle regos are indeed finishing by the two numbers of the Département the said vehicle is registered in...

The Italians, being literate, indicate origins on their rego plates with letters.

On a more depressing note:

Wasps 39 -d- Gloucester 3

Thus Wasps take the title! I wasn't even aware the match was being played. Obviously, if I'd tuned in via the BBC website, I would have lifted Gloucester over the line. OTOH, possibly not. Typical of a team I support to stumble at the final hurdle. This doesn't auger well for Toulouse, Tamerlin.

You'll have to make it worth my while. Now let me see ... what would I like? Okay - how about your Mum's Cassoulet recipe? And that's just for starters ...

Don't forget the Stade Toulousain's song:

"We come,
we win,
and we go back."
