“Generally, the fewer the letters the more valuable the registration. However the value of each plate to the customer ultimately depends on the individual – which means there are always bargains to be had.

One Response

  1. 1 HR…at least it’s not HR 1
    I suppose we should be grateful that the 1 comes before the HR given the implications of the redundancy notification form of the other way round!
