did you know that the registration plates
for cars, supposedly "elite"
(i.e. someone else said,
to a suppposed adequate mutuality
of shared meaning agreed upon
by me too... well, not really)
17 US
            UUL 1
                               6666 V
are worth £7200, £7500 and
£4500 respectively?
but right on top of the list,
the v.i.p. of them all:
JH 5... fifty-five thousand pounds,
you heard me... that's £55000!
that would buy you a second-hand
car and god knows how many
years of MOT and petrol...
fifty-*******-five thousand pounds
for a registration plate JH 5...
i wonder what a registration
plate 1... or ABC would cost...
sesame street, that's what it seems to be
for me.
