Amusing Number Plate

[ST1]

I seem to remember saying in one of Izzies threads that I had a number plate image that Donald (or others who may hail from Scotland) may like.
This was taken in New Zealand earlier this year. I didn't meet the car owner so I'm not sure of their reason for having the number plate but I suspect that they were originally from Scotland .

I cannot read it so it sounds funny! …it is only letters and number. What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Whatever it is, I'm missing it also. I did find the following at Wikipedia:

"An archetypal example of an overt Scotticism is 'Och aye the noo', which translates as 'Oh yes, just now'. This phrase is often used in parody by non-Scots and although the phrases 'Och aye' and 'the noo' are in common use by Scots separately, they are rarely used together." So, perhaps the "4" looks close enough to an "A" that the plate suggests to some those two phrases.

That's a good enough explanation for me Mike

Thanks for the research! …I guess one has to be a "local" to dig it.

Here is one for your trouble (brought back from school by my son):

At the sport club, two girls in the showers…
1. please hand me another shampoo
2. but you got one in your hand!
1. I know, this is for dry hair… and my hair is wet!
