I used to be the Secretary of my small village Residents' Association in which there was a village school and an active quarry...so you can imagine the interactions spread over decades.
The owner of the quarry had a huge Range Rover with a vanity plate of his initials and a single low number. He and I used to "engage" and one day I queried why his vehicle now displayed a normal anonymous plate . His response was that "every body always knew where I was".
I did think that it had taken him rather a long time to realise that there is a down-side to flaunting a "look at me" registration plate
