Ozú qué frío que ha hecho en Navidades en B'ham |
Así, en Inglaterra, es muy frecuente ver coches con matrículas extrañísimas, como salidas de alguna película de James Bond y es que hasta de eso son capaz de sacar dinero y hay gente que no les importa pagar un dineral por una combinación de letras y números para su elegante Maserati o su utilitario Vauxhall (la marca de Opel en la Pérfida Albión).
La norma para estas matrículas ad hoc son una serie de letras en función de la ciudad donde se matricula el vehículo y un número por la fecha en que se hace, vamos, que se trata de una variante inglesa del sudoku. Y a partir de ahí y en función de lo que quieras pagar (desde 80 a 15.000 libras y más) puedes tener tu matrícula personalizada. Aunque si tienes suerte puedes encontrar precios congelados...
Y la matrícula que ha me parecido más curiosa, porque además la encontré al lado de mi casa: así que ¡hasta mañana Murphy!

The most famous Murphy's Law says something like anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. That law was stated by Edward A. Murphy and it was made up because Murphy's assisant made some mistakes with an important experiment for the American Air Force. The problem was to hire an apprentice.
I was reading an article about Spanish's historical & present situation so I've realized that English and Spanish are so different, we, the Spaniards, have always felt as loosers, especially when Spanish's economy went wrong the best option was becoming in a civil servant but English are always looking forward to and they set up any business before nobody do it.
So, in England is often to see weird car's plates as in James Bond's car movies and there are some rich people that pay a lot of money for getting a smart combination of numbers and letters to their luxurious Maserati o working-day Vauxhall.
The English plate's rule is based in a combination of letters of the city where the car was bought and a number that depends to the date when you bought it, that's a funny version of sudoku. And the funny or smart combination depends to how much money you pay for it (since 80 to 15,000 pounds and more). But you can find some frozen prices...
I found the most interesting plate near to my home: so see you tomorrow Murphy!
