I've just had to replace my driving licence because the old one expired.
The old one had an EU flag with UK in the middle.
The new one has the same but also has a Union Flag on the RHS.
Presumably covering all options.
Anyone know if you have to change your number plates on your car to remove the blue stars once we quit the EU?
Cheers

i wouldn't be surprised if you did when visiting the EU. You aren't a member of the EU and they wouldn't want you claiming you were.
Get a stick on swasika for the blue stars, a bit like the stick on beam diverters that used to be available for headlights, but instead of a stick on aid to uniformity, it lets those Europeans know what we think of foreigners. A stick on aid to divergence.
Of course the true Brit will drive on the left also. That'l show 'em.

dennis@home was thinking very hard :
Just buy a pair of stick on Union Flags..
Good idea - as long as the letters GB or UK are shown underneath. If you drive to Europe you will then still need an additional GB sticker attached to the rear. If you have plates that have the euro symbol and GB you do not need the additional GB sticker. That's the current situation - unless it changes!
Its of no interest to brexiteers anyway as it will be up to the EU what is acceptable and brexiteers don't want any control from the EU so won't go in their car.
Presumably brexiteers are refusing to buy stuff with the CE mark on it too.

Chinese Export?
I've never understood why tiny letters and a tiny Union Flag symbol on the edge of a number plate are regarded as an acceptable substitute for the large GB stickers with lettering that could be read at a much greater distance. If the minimum size of lettering on an old GB sticker (did Northern Ireland have its own sticker, since it's in UK but not GB) was the size normally sold, how come they allow much smaller lettering on the side of a number plate?
Why would we refuse? We might just like to also buy things of an acceptable standard, but not necessarily CE marked too though. Other standards around the world can be as good, just different.

It is inferior to our previous standards. CE standards started the Grenfell fire.
Really ?
Most probably.
Are you saying no fridge-freezer ever caught fire before CE days?
