Today sees the sad departure of two staff members, Yee and Ashley, who are off to travel the world over the summer holidays before returning to University in the autumn.
The two have brightened the National Numbers office for a year whilst undertaking work experience as part of their degree courses.
Everyone at National Numbers wishes them the best of luck (and fun!) with their travels and studies over the next year.
Two plates for Yee and Ashley:
Good luck girls!
It's that time of year again for celebrating everything that is English: no, not pints of warm beer, cricket, HP sauce, interminable queue lengths, or even the ubiquitous fry up; but St. George's day, on 24th of April; and how quickly it has come around this year!
But who was St. George anyway? Well, he was a soldier of the Roman Empire, born some time around 275-281 AD. Of course, his notoriety comes from the legendary slaying of the evil dragon. Apparently the dragon would lie in wait over the well from which the village people of Silene in Libya would draw their daily water. The dragon required a daily human sacrifice in order to allow access to the well, and the people of Silene would pick the unfortunate individual from a hat, so to speak. One day, when the princess of the village was randomly chosen for sacrifice, the powers that be must have decided that enough was enough, and dispatched St. George to the well, who quite rightly jumped in with both feet, and killed the dragon with his sword. Hooray for patriotism!
As well as being the patron saint of England and also Canada, China, Ethiopia, Greece, Montenegro, Palestine, Portugal, Russia, and Serbia – St. George is also the patron saint of Freemasonry and Scouting!
In England, we've been rallying to make St. George's Day a bank holiday for years, as yet with little success. But you could always pledge your patriotism to England with a private registration from National Numbers. How about the new style/millennium registration EN57 AND? Or a classic suffix registration: ENG 72C? George also has his fair share of glory on our web site; just look at all these wonderful George private registrations!
We have a wider selection of patriotic registrations and saint registrations that are well worth a look.
Happy St. George's Day!
Gwen, one of National Numbers longest serving members of staff, is celebrating her birthday today.
We know a lady never reveals her true age, so here's a subtle but much deserved ...
Ode To Gwen
Gwen, Gwen, you're such a gem
Out of ten we give you ten
You fill the office with orange zen
And you're so much wiser, than three wise men!
Happy birthday Gwen!
Here are some Gwen number plates that could've been made for you:
Number Plates for Gwen:
Birthday wishes today go out to Ed, National Numbers' Office Manager/Database Administrator/Second-In-Command.
Ed sports a great registration on his car: TO02 FAR - a witty millennium/new style registration which has raised many a smile in its time!
Happy Birthday Eduardo!!
