Some individuals gather tags from autos. It is a bit like individuals who gather postage stamps, old mint pieces, hockey/baseball cards (I have an old Wayne Gretzky card from 1980s I ought to offer at some point), card recreations - or in the event that you are extremely rich like Jay Leno, you gather obsolescent autos.
Gathering tags shifts between the individuals who like them in light of the fact that they are old, on the grounds that they are from diverse states/regions or even distinctive nations, furthermore now and again simply on the grounds that they are surprising or novel.
And after that there is the matter of customized tags - tags which say something clever, say the name of the driver (eg. BOBSCAR) or once in a while even simply a reference to the individual's occupation (eg. PLUMBR). A few nations (Canada, the USA and UK) permit customized tags, while others like Italy presently don't permit customized authorized plates.
In the UK they even permit individuals to exchange customized tags and have sites like Plate Trader where individuals can exchange or offer their customized tags - which helps me to remember the one Seinfeld scene where Kramer unintentionally gets a tag that says ASSMAN and later exchanges it to a proctologist (a specialist that has practical experience in rear ends).
The hosts of the BBC show "Top Gear" may have been wishing they had exchanged their tag for something less provocative when they were compelled to leave Argentina in light of the fact that they had a tag which alluded to the Falklands War (the Falklands War was a war in the middle of Britain and Argentina amid the 1980s in which Argentina attacked the Falkland Islands - claimed by the British - and afterward was summarily stepped upon by the British who quickly took it back). So the hosts of the show landed in Argentina with their customized British tags making fun of Argentina's part in the Falklands War, a demonstration which brought about challenges against them and constrained the hosts to leave the nation in a rush.
So better believe it. Some individuals consider their tags important. Also can't take a joke evidently.
One of the customized tags was purportedly H982 FKL, which alludes to 1982, the year of the Falklands War.
So it wasn't even that amusing.
In the wake of being expelled from Argentina the hosts ought to have wrapped up whatever is left of the scene in the Falkland Islands. It would have appeared well and good and all the British inhabitants of the island would not have been so disturbed around a tag which to them would have been seen as devoted. I am interested to know whether that is the thing that they wound up doing. The TV scene has yet to air, it was intended to be broadcast in December as a Christmas Special.
