If you tried to figure it out you would probably go crazy.<br /><br />This week one of our stock number plates will celebrate its fifth birthday. Forgive me if I choose not to raise a glass to 36 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">CEL</span> on its anniversary. It puzzles me why after five years we still own it! I do not think it is unreasonably priced at £2600 and it is ideal for the names Celina, Celia, Cecilia, as well as Toyota <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Celica</span> owners, Celtic fans or plain old Chris Edward Lewis.<br /><br />This industry is great for proving you wrong. You get offered what appears to be a great registration number that you expect to fly away, so naturally you give good money for it. Five years later you are cursing the day you parted with your hard earned cash. Then you reluctantly accept a terrible combination of letters in part-exchange for a more expensive number plate you want to sell. As soon as the unattractive registration number is added to the website you receive a flurry of enquiries, agree a sale and the phone continues to ring even after it is marked as 'under offer' on the website!<br /><br />Oh well, some you win, some you learn.<br /><br />Incidentally, if the registration number 36 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">CEL</span> is of interest, please give me a call on 01924 823781. Don't be too surprised if I yell out HALLELUJAH! when we complete the transaction.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3119034799900683989-1064963015251784257?l=simplyreg.blogspot.com'/></div>www.simplyreg.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938188567284103448noreply@blogger.com0
