Remember to tell him they're worthless and it'll just be some paint suspended in air with no metal so you get a cheaper price.

Would that be Mr Fart pants?? :)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Is that an ex-Jersey car? or is some of the plate missing?

I don't think it is. If you look closely there appears to be holes for where the other numbers mount.

If it is a Jersey car and your mate buys it, transfer the plate to me? 4 digits are rare and worth a couple of quid

The less digits, the more they are worth.

My ex has J11, left to her by her grandfather. Wouldn't even want to speculate how much it's worth but J50 sold about 5 years ago for £50k.

I have been on the lookout for J3251
