Typically uninformed and ignorant opinions, as has become the norm on SN unfortunately.
SN is not that bad, there are a small percentage of idiots, but that's like any section of society (as you pointed out earlier - even the police - shock horror).
As for the plates why people don't just run with standard plates is beyond me - it's just a goddamn number plate that is supposed to be a standard size - simple as that.
As has been said the police have got better things to do (the fact that they rarely seem to do them is another story completely).

Then if you think that why keep reading/posting?
Its just the 5% that are plonkers that sometimes pi$$ me off.
Hardly reason enough to boycot the BS is it?

I agree with you 100% talizman, people find it so hard to understand that it's usually down to CID to track down & catch crims. The everyday copper on the beat or out in a patrol car is looking for offences which break the law and on call to attend any incidences.
The whole generalisation of grouping all coppers as 'one and the same' is like an old record getting stuck There are so many different branches within each force, each with specific tasks to carry out.

Not wishing to pick holes in your use of the English language, but the statement
led me to believe that you did not think this was a minority issues as use of the word norm would normally imply a majority would it not?
With this sort of comamnd of the English language I'm very worried if you are allowed to write out statements that are later admissable in court
Seriously though if, like me, you think it's a small minority then fair enough!

Give it a break guys - It's like being in a playground. You don't know Talizman and probably never will. He's trying to give you information and you're just trying to pick a fight.
Grow up.

I post on here far more than the site you're talking about Yoza.
I just watched this post degrade and as usual I can't hold my water
I don't know Talizman either, but the times I've seen his posts he comes across as a good chap and he knows what he's talking about.

Why change your number plate anyway? I am all for modding cars but so the mods actually do something, whether performance or aesthetic. What is the point of changing your plates when its illegal and not going to give you any more performance and hardly change the look of your car?
My personal opinion is that all moddified number plates look sh!te and just make you look like some spotty little boy racer, there are far more better things to do to your car then change the bloody number plates
I have both a scoob and an R1 both with illegal modifications but have never understood why either car or bike owners have to change the most obvious legal requirement on a vehicle and then wonder why they get in **** for it!

Right, I've just phoned my old english teacher and she has given me some guidance on what to say, so its clear as to what is actually meant.... (for you tiggers )
When I said...
I meant that on almost any given day, you can log on and read the same crap being spewed out on various posts on ScoobyNet.
This qualifies it as being "the norm"
The fact that it is a select few posters who contribute to the verbal tripe doesn't make it any less of the norm.
This just means that although the minority are responsible for it, it has still become the norm, and is more and more commonplace...

Medders- Threads only degrade when people like yourself come out with comments that imply there is aggression which just fuels the idiots.
Talizman is more than capable of holding his own but there will always be disagreements, even if the information is 100% correct but it's hardly a war.
Most posts can be answered in 1 or 2 replies, instead bullshít allows them to carry on for 3 or 4 pages. That bull**** also is actually believed to be gospel by a few and there is no-way that you will change their line of thought.
There has to be an allowance for the dim folk, otherwise why else would somebody have invented the "rolleyes" emoticon?
The threads are very repetitive, this one in particular has been done to death but you still get someone replying with the facts, only to be told they are wrong.
Burr- A small number plate with standard lettering and borders I presume?

So it's MY fault that people where having a go at Talizman and slagging the police, becuase I posted that it was childish to do so (after the event) ????
If you say so
I think you'll find after I posted there was only light heartedness and frivolity.
So boo to you Spoon.

Medders- No it's not your fault so stop sulking, but had there been more than only us few posting then I'm sure some díck would have butt in with some obsenity.
Anyway, I never saw Talizman being attacked, I read it as banter.

Ah yes Talizman I understand your logic, but the real question is what matters most, the majority of posts or posters. If the majority of posts upset you so then the fact that they are made by a minority of posters is not relevant and my original question still stands i.e. why keep reading if the majority of posts annoy you?
As for the topic I still think people shouldn't get upset when they get stopped for having illegal paltes - the law is pretty clear on this (for once).
Regards,
tiggers.

If the majority of posts upset you
Its the sporadic posts by the monority that get on my ****, thats all.
However, with regards to topic.... if folk don't want pulled, don't wear illegal plates. Simple as that.
If you do stick them on, don't complain when you get pulled/done.

as for the "its the pages and pages of BS that keep the thread going" type comment I read...
Someone (stretching things here, I know) on SN could make the most obviosuly correct and sensible post ever, and we could all agree with it...... but then the thread would be over and we'd have to maybe go and do some work
Quote from our office - "You are indeed correct and I know you to be so, however I just can't bring myself to agree with you no matter how hard I try. It makes me want to vomit."

Can't think why there is so much fuss over plates. The law states letter size and spacing so that the car can be identified for all manner of reasons. That is absolutely reasonable. So why not just have legal plates instead of breaking the law just for the hell of it?
Phil Harrison also makes a very good point. We should really worry for the future when the control freaks have that much information on what we all do.
MI8abuse,
You seem to have a very childish attitude and also to be unable to say anything of value. You would do better to stop the unpleasant posts that do no more except to indicate your mindset!
