We – had to go to Montpellier to Ikea last week and, as there isn’t really an alternative on back roads, we went by motorway on the Langueducienne.
Now as I have said before this is a bit of an thoroughfare connecting the Iberian Peninsula with the Northern part of Europe so it is a hell of a good route for spotting number plates . In our time we have seen the following on this road;
A AND B BG CZ D DK E FL FR GB GBZ HR I IRL L LT MC N NL P PL RO SK SLO LT UA
This adds up to 27, last week we counted a mere 12 , but then the holiday season is fairly well over.
Now – without lookung them up how many of those initials could you put countries to ? I reckon anything over 15 is pretty good and you can check out the others on any number of websites.

on September 20, 2011Reminds me – when I was growing up in Macroom, if Cork were playing a match in Killarney, or Kerry were playing a match in Cork, there would be a traffic jam in Macroom. We would sit outside the front door for ages with notebooks, trying to outdo each other with the number of registration numbers we could write down. Probably suggested by my mother to get us out of her hair for a while.
