I wouold love a PP with 'PAW' somewhere in it!
Doubt i'll ever be able to afford one though lol
I know it is a fair bit of money but nothing like the thousands that are spent on some of the plates I've seen.
I shall keep an eye out for the PAW ones from now on

Would I get one? Only if I was super rich and I had already done extensive charity work and wouldn't miss the money. But even then only to make my Aston Martin look a tiny bit better
(Ps I don't own an Aston Martin (well apart from in my dreams!) I have an old banger, which is economical and runs well - and the money saved goes on organic/better quality food from M&S instead!)
Re Pidge's comment about mutton - it wasn't directed at anyone here so just chill. I took it as her referring to some old woman thinking she's 18 - you know, mutton dressed as lamb. But anyway, that's a topic for another thread perhaps!
No self importance, no ego to stroke,
Why do would you need to do extensive charity work , fist before you got PP
People have a right to spend their hard earned cash on whatever they want, without having to feel they need to give it to a charity
.Do you go on expensive holidays, (or cheap ones)
Do you treat yourself to hair cuts/ new clothes/handbags/shoes... a round of golf, a nigh or week end away. a new puppy , a new camara!!
Do you need to do extensive charity work first to ease your conscience
If it makes you feel better to do so, than thats great,
But there goes the stereotyping again.. regards self importance...and is usually thrown around by those holding sour grapes; -)

Are they?
I certainly don't have an air of self importance. I choose to spend my money how I see fit. Not so different from you.
As for making an older car look newer - wrong again, We put the same plate on each car we buy and generally we only buy new. So having the reverse effect really.
Don't suffer from insecurity or low self esteem either. If I want it and pay for it why should that upset anyone else, why is everyone so damn judgemental. Surely that says more about those doing the judging.
Agree, would they be as judgemental if you said I have just spent 800 on a puppy.. ofcause they would not.
Yet most PP `s cost around 150 to 500... (not going into the top bracket)
Azz, not sure if you posted what you did, through boredom and just wish to get a rise out of some members...or what
