Number plates, post Brexit

[Scoots]

I've just got a towbar mounted bike carrier so I headed out today in search of a number plate.

No particular wish to have a sticker when I go to Europe so I checked the .gov web site and went to Halfords for a GB plate. They could do me the St Georges Flag (other nations were available) with GB or a Union flag with UK on it.

I wanted GB or Union Flag with GB

Is it just me?

Displaying number plates

How to display number or licence plates, get plates made up, replace lost, damaged or stolen plates, and the national letters, flags and symbols you can display.

www.gov.uk

Tried another couple of independents, one of whom offered me a Euro flag GB , but no GB or Union GB was available.

 

[Sad]

Yeah, I've been looking at where to get them. To no avail I'm afraid...

Thanks WG, have seen these... Not in a great rush, expect it'll be a while yet before we travel to France...

I have no intention of changes the various EU plates on my U.K. reg vehicles.

Why would I ?

You don't need to unless you go abroad.

To be legal in France now you need the Union Jack with GB rather than the EU symbol.
For Spain it doesn't matter what you have on your numberplate, you still need a separate GB sticker.

Your right, you can just slap a GB sticker on the back and be done.

I have magnetic GB signs so can take of when we return and use plain number plates.

I dunno, my fridge goes down to minus 73 (at the back, when I want to get the pack of bacon out).

Is the question of which flag/symbol to put on your number plate for continental touring the campervanning equivalent of the what-size-of-union-jack-and-which-political-memoir-to-have behind your home office desk question if you're a government minister doing a TV interview?

Excellent idea, they will go well with my Scottish National Trust badge, a decent disguise to avoid anti English attacks in Europe when we are freed from house arrest.

Rats. Anyone else buy GB stickers to go on their number plates?
Really annoyed that it has now been changed to UK!
Guess we'll all be throwing those unused not even single use GB plastic stickers in the land fill site then....
Grumble grumble...
