    I always thought the Irish number plates were fairly ridiculous. A country of 4 million and some people have 9 digits in their number plate!

    Well, many areas have 9 digits phone numbers hence +353 (0) 21 444 4444. However, the new British ones are a mess- they should have used postcode areas, hence 03 CF 54321 would be a car registered in Cardiff this year. The Irish ones make far more sense.

    Bring back the red and black ones!

    The EU says they must either be black on yellow or black on white- only Belgium gets away with red on white. Black on red looks awful.

    Just as well this thread is deadish in its original incarnation, eh? Interesting info on Gibraltar/Reunion/etc telly though.

    Well, come 10th July it is. To make matters even more confusing, Gibraltarian politicians may sound like Big Ian, but they were educated by the Christian Brothers. It's the only place I know where the Irish theme pub flies the Union Jack. And they've got a street called Irish Town. (It has a Ballymena House, named after the camp where many evacuees went during the war)

    If Sky had a market penetration in the UK and Ireland that it does in Gib, it's be laughing. But if the only alternative was an hour long programme with the Chief Minister (OH JOY) and Spanish stuff, it's no wonder, Funnily enough, a company that wanted to offer a cable TV service legitimately was told by Sky that it couldn't carry its channels- even though Sky would get paid the full whack.

    If GBC has any sense it'll relay BBC1 and 2 on the Rock FTA tomorrow. But it won't, because it's GBC
