And having to 'end the call' if there was any suggestion of mis-spacing is commonly know in the trade as 'covering your a$$'
I think you'll find.
I mean how come MR51 NGH sold for £500k? (by DVLA)
It doesn't actually spell anything does it?
Oh, unless you mis-space it....
Case closed.

OK you've clearly made up your mind with nothing other than anecdotal evidence whereas I have experience in the matter.
Firstly the department who sell registration marks over the phone are not the people who were involved in the
auction of MR51 NGH. There is a £5000 price limit on the phone sales. When you call them up there is a verbal contract which is recorded. Part of that contract says you will not misrepresent your registration. Just because someone buys J1 MMY doesn't mean they are going to alter the spacing.
If any DVLA staff member sold a registration on the suggestion it be used illegally they would be subject to instant dismissal.
Every call is recorded and monitored.
This of course is going way off topic so if you have any further questions about it, feel free to PM me.
