I needed some made in Belfast recently. I called past a shop to ask if they did it, which they did, asked if I'd have to go and get the logbook and they laughed heartily. They said they'd put anything I wanted on there. Quite open about it. Halfords will probably ask for documents but not independent shops.

Not sure what the rules are but last two times I've been asked for proof of ownership by independent shops (even at a stall at a camper festival after my VW lost its plate driving through floodwater). And also ordering online I had to email a copy of documents. Maybe I just look dodgy. Even online.
 
Just noticed as I went past that there seems to be work happening on the building above Iceland finally. There's scaff up and new windows going in.

My mate used to have one which just said FUCK YOU on it.

Outline, yes. Full permission has 5 years, and you can extend it by making a "meaningful start on site" by doing some minor work, after which you've got essentially forever to do the rest.

Maybe NI has different legislation to England and Wales.

Unless there is a method of restricting access to the raw materials to make a plate then it doesn't matter at all.

Whatever the rules I can't imagine they are particularly enforceable.
Not sure how effective traffic monitoring is either - I drove around for quite a while with different plates on the front and back of my pick up after I absent mindedly used a spare from my old car.
 
Yet another collision on the Christchurch Road / Roupell Road Junction this morning. Motorcyclist hospitalised. There was a three car smash there last week too.

The junction should probably have traffic lights on it, or some massive signs, or even be turned into a mini-roundabout.

Is there a way for normal folk to suggest this to the council?

I agree - especially as there is already a light controlled pedestrian crossing just next to the junction.
 
Lots of god botherers around at the moment on Brixton Hill. Door knocking every weekend and this morning they'd even resorted to walking up and down the hill handing out leaflets to people waiting at the bus stop. I've seen them in large numbers around waterloo as well over the past few weeks.

Yeah, we had door to door god bothering twice on Sunday. Maybe the floods are making them restive....
 
BTW there was a very clear rainbow right across Tulse Hill (the road) about half an hour ago. It's a shame I didn't have my camera.
