see I disagree..I havent got one now.. but I have had a few in the past.. and they enhanced my car.

People always knew it was mine... and as I was into my cars and went to car meets a lot this was a normal thing.

Saying that my show plates had my forum name on for the clubs..

"
In my experience, some items not available in Tescos or Morrisons are probably quite expensive as they are in M & S.

I would not do my entire shopping at Waitrose or M & S - in fact I shop at Lidl and Aldi for some of my groceries and then I buy stuff from M & S and Waitrose for other goodies. I have not really noticed Waitrose being more expensive across the board?

I would suggest you do a full shop on My Supermarket and see what the difference is! It will amaze you... Maybe one or two headline items are cheaper, but I will guarantee that overall, Waitrose is by far the dearest!

I've seen that car and had similar thoughts!!! Can't remember where but just remember thinking 'you twunt'...or something similar!

@OP - I don't mind private plates if they mean something, but some just seem to be there for the sake of having a private plate...plus they can be a ballache to sort when you're relying on Car Salesmen and Joe Public to get the paperwork right. So glad I don't do admin anymore and just flog the cars now!

Who cares if Waitrose is more expensive than other supermarkets?....They have their own market and are fulfilling the needs of their customer base....the same as Aldi and Lidl are.

I always though it was a choice how you spend your money, granted some get jealous of those that can blow money this way and seen many a change of attitude once the haters get one! Comical to say the least it is but life is full of irony but that's life,some will always get irritated and jealous of others that can do what they can't.

Rather than dissing your life choices, may I just pose a question:

Why? My bro in law has one and my bro does too. Both of them on just ordinary five year old production family saloons.

Btw I love em both, don't think they're wankers or tossers for this reason. Maybe for other reasons, but not this reason

Why are people so quick to say "it's a waste of money" or "they're for tossers"

All I can think is it must be jealousy. There is nothing wrong with being successful. I make no apologies for it.

It seems it's only located here (the UK, not this site lol) too, this jealousy. The amount of times people have said to me "I bet u don't get many miles to the gallon from that" or "not much boot space in that is there mate" you wouldn't believe!

In the US if you drive a nice car, people congratulate you and ask to have a look.

And yes, I have a private plate, it's a sign of my personal success.

Good for you - I cannot understand why it is a problem... we all have things we are attached to, things that make us proud, things that are a symbol for our achievements. We just choose different symbols. Nothing wrong with it.

I get the same with the car never mind the plates it just makes me smile as I know many who spend more on cigs and binge drinking than I have on plates. I don't complain at people spending money on things they choose to its their choice although if someone went and spent 3 mill on a Caribbean island that would be a waste.....oh no that's me being jealous.

Never really bothered anout it, some plates are funny, shows you how up tight most poeple are in here, but the.

Can't say I would rush out and buy one but I don't find them distasteful like some people do.

To me, they are purely a way of personalising your vehicle as opposed to them being a status symbol.

All I can think is it must be jealousy. There is nothing wrong with being successful. I make no apologies for it.

In the US if you drive a nice car, people congratulate you and ask to have a look.

And yes, I have a private plate, it's a sign of my personal success. "

Does this mean that a new plate has more kudos than a private plate?

Many moons ago when I w*rked in a Fiat main agents, one customer retained his very ordinary number off his old car and had it put on his brand new car which was the identical model and colour to his old one. This was so his customers couldn`t see how much profit his shop was making!

Where I judge other people it's by MY experience of THEIR lives and all too often I find it's style over substance.

That 'style' all regularly manifests itself in what they mistakenly believe to be shows of wealth, in a futile attempt to impress others - private number plates, wrist watches the size of saucers and similar.
