RE: British plates again

Bob,

It would seem to make sense to not allow "O" in a registration.

But: My father had a 1965 Simca when I was young and its registration was   
"BOR 407C".  Sorry to blow your theory.  A friend of mine had a late   
1960's Austin that he nicknamed "Elmo", as its first three letters were   
"LMO".

It does seem strange that the DVLC disallowed "I" for looking like a 1,   
"Z" for looking like a 2 and "Q" for looking like a 0, but didn't   
disallow "O".  But then, we Brits _are_ strange, aren't we (-: ?

Daren.
