I thought so
But
Where is that on the plate to make it 4d?
I have a degree in physics too
Honest

Nothing. The OP was being humorous. I imagine that's how they're described in the back of Max Plastic magazine

There wasn't too much to be humorous about. Hope you're feeling better!

Who remembers when all numberplates had raised plastic letters

Think these are known as 3D, although seem flat plates that mimic this old look. Still don’t get it

I think the idea of these plates is that with the under the black somehow gives the illusion of the letters “floating” and I see them a lot on black Range Rover sports !

Well I’d suggest it’s time (whilst in motion)… because of the raised surface of the letters, the backplate takes a length of time to travel into the same space as the letters? With a flat version, the backplate and letters travel into a space at the same time.

Driven by a bottle blond with orange skin, in leggings, with an oversized fake YSL handbag with a yappy dog in it and fake sunglasses...am I right?

Oh and she's holding her mobile because she cannot work out the bluetooth...

 

[bigbob]

Certainly not round here, and anway, why would they have UK index numbers?

Sorry, I meant they are likely ordered from overseas to get round the id data that UK plate suppliers have to put on.

Work it? She can't even spell it, nor pronounce it!
Popular with those who eat their meals with their hands
because they were never shown how to use cutlery at
meal times.

Jesus, Martin, what kind of horse troughs do you dine out at?
I've never ever seen anyone wearing a hat in a restaurant.
I even had lunch in a Pizza Hut in Cambridge a few years back,
because I had my teenage nephew with me and I'm pretty sure
I saw no head coverings on that occasion.

Noooooo way Martin. Their mobile efforts were much, much worse. One memory I'll have until my dying day is of mould everywhere. Food in a heap in the back of a trailer and really, really wanting to shoot the cook. This particular 'mobile cookhouse' was operated by a morose Welshman called Evans. The last three digits of his Army number were 303. So his nickname was Evans303. To distinguish him from other Evans's. If anyone asked why he was called '303', they were told it was because so many soldiers wanted him dead.

The 3d ones are the domed gel versions rather than these 4d raised sided letter/numbers.
