I dont know if anyone has ever noticed this (and why would you be sad enough?) but living here in Scotland and reading number plates all the time on the road, I notice that there are a huge number of Y plates around.
Now Scottish registered cars have a plate beginning with S, eg ST09 GTR. Plates beginning with a Y are Yorkshire-registered, eg YR51 FNL. I have had two of these myself, due to them being supplied through a dealer called Dixons in Doncaster. But there are so many Y plates around I get the feeling that there must be some giant leasing vehicle supplier in greater darkest Yorks....
It isnt just cars either, I see quite a few new commercial vehicles with the same.
Is it the same elsewhere?
BTW, if you dont get what Im on about see
