SWMBO reminded me to call the dealer and ask them to put "european" license plates on the new car, as it's should be here in a few weeks. What she means are make sure it's got plates on with the country mark on, so that we don't have to stick on a nasty magnetic GB sticker on the back when we toddle off to France.

 

It occurred to me that I'm not actually sure what those plates are called - do they have a specific name? And come to think of it, why aren't all plates just marked this way by default - I still see plenty of cars with just the straight plate on and no little flag.

words are hard.

Just called EU plates although you may only have a few years use out of them before going back to standard UK plates

Excellent. I'll call the dealer now and not feel like a tool!
