Mick:
It's even more confusing that I thought it was! I've asked my relatives who still over there why people don't just describe their vehicles using the year of manufacture. I haven't heard an answers that made much sense. What's wrong with saying, 'I drive a 1984' as opposed to 'I drive a B reg'?
