Have we all got to get new number plates now, or can we still display the EU logo ::)

Do you still have a man walking in front of you with a red flag too? ;D

PS I bet the AA man still salutes you too.

As the plates are a standard, you could set yourself up selling  kits to convert from an EU plate to an FU one. Sounds like a business opportunity; a roll of yellow tape, some scalpels, employ a low-paid unskilled immigrant to cut the little strips and you could retire in luxury to the Algarve.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I always have an Ecosse sticker on the car. Our Gallic neighbours have been very helpful when they see it. :y
