Weird. Lived here all my life, only time I've ever heard it is in "look at those wacky Yanks" conversations. South coast/London here. Maybe it's regional?

Somebody should build that. Why should governments and corps have all the fun? (Insert sousveillance/transparent society/David Brin rant here). Are there any decent open source number plate recognition libraries yet?
