The Game Commences

Yesterday, on the 18th April 2004, I commenced playing the game of Consecutive Number Plate Spotting (CNPS). It's an easy game, essentially you have to spot a vehicle number plate with the number 1 on it, then one with the number two on it, then a 3 and so on up to 999. Full rules can be seen by following the link on the left. Also on the left is a site where you can register your own CNPS scores.

This blog will detail my CNPS and nothing else.

As I started the game, the weather outside was "wet". So my initial spotting was limited to cars that I could see out of my living room window. To get me off the mark, I needed to find a 1. I looked around desperately, but there was no 1. So as I'm clearly not going to go outside in the rain, I sit down to read my book for a bit. After about an hour, there is a car outside. Joy of joys, it's my upstairs neighbour just arrived home - her number plate starts Y1 - I'm in! From there I have a clear ride up to 4 - I can see an 02, an 03 and an 04 all within metres of my flat. But the 5 alludes me. Tomorrow I'll be out and about and can get started in earnest.
