Car licence plates which bear the sequence SN07 were banned from the streets of Edinburgh because they are "offensive", it has emerged. The plate had been due to follow on from the SN56 registration in March. Licensing officials at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) changed the plate to TN07 to avoid it being similar to the word "snot". The change means that cars registered in the capital are the only ones in Scotland not to begin with an S. A DVLA spokesperson said the decision to change the plates was taken to avoid offending car buyers in the capital. She added: "It is our policy that any registration mark that can be construed as being offensive to people will be suppressed. "In this case, the SN07 marks would have been too similar to the word 'snot' and, as that could possibly offend some buyers, they were replaced with new TN07 registrations." BBC News

1) Not wanting to get into legal/pc problems 2) Groups of people deciding, and not one person - groups almost always go for the most extreme solution

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | How come they never banned "PO0x" (x being the year number) then? I've seen that one several times, and of course it's made me laugh every time I've seen it...
