I'm just back from two weeks vacations in Scotland and I've seen, just for miliseconds in the diverted traffic, two times cars with British plates, which had a red logo, similar as this one here. And it was not the sign of the Isle of Man. This contains red, too, but it's smaller.

Ingo ◊ 2010-05-02 22:43	Yes, I've seen, that it's Tweetie-Pie, so I'm irritated, because the unknown red logo's, I've seen, looked similar. Aren't different font's like above allowed in Britain? I've seen some, too.
