'Pride of place' Banned plate on show in garden
Bristol Post
|April 15, 2025
A BRISTOL couple who were told they could no longer use the registration number they had bought some 30 years ago because it was deemed offensive by the DVLA, are now displaying it in their garden.
Jackie and John Cooke, from Frampton Cotterell in North Bristol, purchased the registration number 'N14 GAS' in 1997 from the DVLA to show off their love for their favourite football team, Bristol Rovers.
As lifelong supporters, the numbers symbolised 'Number one for The Gas' - The Gas being the nickname of their favourite footie team. However the DVLA has now withdrawn this number as it could be read as a racial slur.
