Thus Wolverhampton never issued certain letter combinations ending in UK, for instance. The plate on the taxi was issued, basically because the word is French, and probably nobody spotted it. A street that goes nowhere is referred to here as a cul-de-sac, literally “a-se of bag”, and this can even be found cast into signs, nobody seems bothered.
